Random Access Procedures Using Multiple Active Bandwidth Parts

ABSTRACT

Wireless communications using multiple active resources (e.g., bandwidth parts (BWP)) are described. A predetermined rule may be used to determine on which downlink (DL) BWP of multiple active DL BWPs, and/or on which uplink (UL) BWP of multiple active UL BWPs, a message is to be sent. A wireless device and/or a base station may reduce the quantity of active DL BWPs and/or active UL BWPs to monitor for a response.

BACKGROUND

Wireless communications may use bandwidth parts (BWPs) and/or otherwireless resources. Wireless communications may include random accessprocedures, for example, between a base station and a wireless device. Abase station may send downlink control information (DCI) for schedulingBWPs and/or random access responses (RARs) for a random accessprocedure. A wireless device may monitor DCI for various BWP operationsand/or a wireless device may monitor a BWP for RARs, which may lead toincreased power consumption and/or reduced spectral efficiency.

SUMMARY

The following summary presents a simplified summary of certain features.The summary is not an extensive overview and is not intended to identifykey or critical elements.

Wireless communications using multiple active resources (e.g., bandwidthparts) are described. A wireless device may support multiple activeresources (e.g., BWPs) in a cell, for example, to improve uplink and/ordownlink radio efficiency and/or reduce uplink signaling overhead.Sending messages (e.g., random access preambles) on more than one activeuplink (UL) resource (e.g., UL BWP), monitoring for messages (e.g.,random access responses) on more than one active downlink (DL) resource(e.g., DL BWP), and/or switching and/or activating/deactivating (e.g.,activating or deactivating) more than one active resource (e.g., UL BWP,DL BWP, BWP, etc.), may cause, for example, excessive battery powerconsumption, increased interference, and/or misalignment between devices(e.g., between a base station and a wireless device). A base station anda wireless device may use a predetermined rule to determine whichresource or resources (e.g., BWPs, UL BWPs, DL BWPs, etc.) to use forvarious messages. By using the predetermined rule, a wireless deviceand/or a base station may avoid or reduce the above issues and/or mayfacilitate reduced hardware complexity, reduced operational overhead,and greater efficiency for wireless communications using multiple activeresources (e.g., BWPs).

These and other features and advantages are described in greater detailbelow.

Example transmissionmechanisms may include, but are not limited to: Code Division MultipleAccess (CDMA), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA),Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Wavelet technologies, and/or thelike. Hybrid transmission mechanisms such as TDMA/CDMA, and/or OFDM/CDMAmay be used. Various modulation schemes may be used for signaltransmission in the physical layer. Examples of modulation schemesinclude, but are not limited to: phase, amplitude, code, a combinationof these, and/or the like. An example radio transmission method mayimplement Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) using Binary Phase ShiftKeying (BPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), 16-QAM, 64-QAM,256-QAM, 1024-QAM and/or the like. Physical radio transmission may beenhanced by dynamically or semi-dynamically changing the modulation andcoding scheme, for example, depending on transmission requirementsand/or radio conditions.

FIG. 1 shows an example Radio Access Network (RAN) architecture. A RANnode may comprise a next generation Node B (gNB) (e.g., 120A, 120B)providing New Radio (NR) user plane and control plane protocolterminations towards a first wireless device (e.g., 110A). A RAN nodemay comprise a base station such as a next generation evolved Node B(ng-eNB) (e.g., 120C, 120D), providing Evolved UMTS Terrestrial RadioAccess (E-UTRA) user plane and control plane protocol terminationstowards a second wireless device (e.g., 110B). A first wireless device110A may communicate with a base station, such as a gNB 120A, over a Uuinterface. A second wireless device 110B may communicate with a basestation, such as an ng-eNB 120D, over a Uu interface. The wirelessdevices 110A and/or 110B may be structurally similar to wireless devicesshown in and/or described in connection with other drawing figures. TheNode B 120A, the Node B 120B, the Node B 120C, and/or the Node B 120Dmay be structurally similar to Nodes B and/or base stations shown inand/or described in connection with other drawing figures.

A base station, such as a gNB (e.g., 120A, 120B, etc.) and/or an ng-eNB(e.g., 120C, 120D, etc.) may host functions such as radio resourcemanagement and scheduling, IP header compression, encryption andintegrity protection of data, selection of Access and MobilityManagement Function (AMF) at wireless device (e.g., User Equipment (UE))attachment, routing of user plane and control plane data, connectionsetup and release, scheduling and transmission of paging messages (e.g.,originated from the AMF), scheduling and transmission of systembroadcast information (e.g., originated from the AMF or Operation andMaintenance (O&M)), measurement and measurement reporting configuration,transport level packet marking in the uplink, session management,support of network slicing, Quality of Service (QoS) flow management andmapping to data radio bearers, support of wireless devices in aninactive state (e.g., RRC_INACTIVE state), distribution function forNon-Access Stratum (NAS) messages, RAN sharing, dual connectivity,and/or tight interworking between NR and E-UTRA.

One or more first base stations (e.g., gNBs 120A and 120B) and/or one ormore second base stations (e.g., ng-eNBs 120C and 120D) may beinterconnected with each other via Xn interface. A first base station(e.g., gNB 120A, 120B, etc.) or a second base station (e.g., ng-eNB120C, 120D, etc.) may be connected via NG interfaces to a network, suchas a 5G Core Network (5GC). A 5GC may comprise one or more AMF/User PlanFunction (UPF) functions (e.g., 130A and/or 130B). A base station (e.g.,a gNB and/or an ng-eNB) may be connected to a UPF via an NG-User plane(NG-U) interface. The NG-U interface may provide delivery (e.g.,non-guaranteed delivery) of user plane Protocol Data Units (PDUs)between a RAN node and the UPF. A base station (e.g., a gNB and/or anng-eNB) may be connected to an AMF via an NG-Control plane (NG-C)interface. The NG-C interface may provide functions such as NG interfacemanagement, wireless device (e.g., UE) context management, wirelessdevice (e.g., UE) mobility management, transport of NAS messages,paging, PDU session management, configuration transfer, and/or warningmessage transmission.

A UPF may host functions such as anchor point for intra-/inter-RadioAccess Technology (RAT) mobility (e.g., if applicable), external PDUsession point of interconnect to data network, packet routing andforwarding, packet inspection and user plane part of policy ruleenforcement, traffic usage reporting, uplink classifier to supportrouting traffic flows to a data network, branching point to supportmulti-homed PDU session, quality of service (QoS) handling for userplane, packet filtering, gating, Uplink (UL)/Downlink (DL) rateenforcement, uplink traffic verification (e.g., Service Data Flow (SDF)to QoS flow mapping), downlink packet buffering, and/or downlink datanotification triggering.

An AMF may host functions such as NAS signaling termination, NASsignaling security, Access Stratum (AS) security control, inter CoreNetwork (CN) node signaling (e.g., for mobility between 3rd GenerationPartnership Project (3GPP) access networks), idle mode wireless devicereachability (e.g., control and execution of paging retransmission),registration area management, support of intra-system and inter-systemmobility, access authentication, access authorization including check ofroaming rights, mobility management control (e.g., subscription and/orpolicies), support of network slicing, and/or Session ManagementFunction (SMF) selection.

A PHY layer may provide transport services to higherlayers (e.g., MAC, RRC, etc.). Services and/or functions of a MACsublayer may comprise mapping between logical channels and transportchannels, multiplexing and/or demultiplexing of MAC Service Data Units(SDUs) belonging to the same or different logical channels into and/orfrom Transport Blocks (TBs) delivered to and/or from the PHY layer,scheduling information reporting, error correction through HybridAutomatic Repeat request (HARQ) (e.g., one HARQ entity per carrier forCarrier Aggregation (CA)), priority handling between wireless devicessuch as by using dynamic scheduling, priority handling between logicalchannels of a wireless device such as by using logical channelprioritization, and/or padding. A MAC entity may support one or multiplenumerologies and/or transmission timings. Mapping restrictions in alogical channel prioritization may control which numerology and/ortransmission timing a logical channel may use. An RLC sublayer maysupport transparent mode (TM), unacknowledged mode (UM), and/oracknowledged mode (AM) transmission modes. The RLC configuration may beper logical channel with no dependency on numerologies and/orTransmission Time Interval (TTI) durations. Automatic Repeat Request(ARQ) may operate on any of the numerologies and/or TTI durations withwhich the logical channel is configured. Services and functions of thePDCP layer for the user plane may comprise, for example, sequencenumbering, header compression and decompression, transfer of user data,reordering and duplicate detection, PDCP PDU routing (e.g., such as forsplit bearers), retransmission of PDCP SDUs, ciphering, deciphering andintegrity protection, PDCP SDU discard, PDCP re-establishment and datarecovery for RLC AM, and/or duplication of PDCP PDUs. Services and/orfunctions of SDAP may comprise, for example, mapping between a QoS flowand a data radio bearer. Services and/or functions of SDAP may comprisemapping a Quality of Service Indicator (QFI) in DL and UL packets. Aprotocol entity of SDAP may be configured for an individual PDU session.

The radio bearer may be associatedwith a QoS requirement. A base station may configure a logical channelto be mapped to one or more TTIs and/or numerologies in a plurality ofTTIs and/or numerologies. The wireless device may receive DownlinkControl Information (DCI) via a Physical Downlink Control CHannel(PDCCH) indicating an uplink grant. The uplink grant may be for a firstTTI and/or a first numerology and may indicate uplink resources fortransmission of a transport block. The base station may configure eachlogical channel in the plurality of logical channels with one or moreparameters to be used by a logical channel prioritization procedure atthe MAC layer of the wireless device. The one or more parameters maycomprise, for example, priority, prioritized bit rate, etc. A logicalchannel in the plurality of logical channels may correspond to one ormore buffers comprising data associated with the logical channel. Thelogical channel prioritization procedure may allocate the uplinkresources to one or more first logical channels in the plurality oflogical channels and/or to one or more MAC Control Elements (CEs). Theone or more first logical channels may be mapped to the first TTI and/orthe first numerology. The MAC layer at the wireless device may multiplexone or more MAC CEs and/or one or more MAC SDUs (e.g., logical channel)in a MAC PDU (e.g., transport block). The MAC PDU may comprise a MACheader comprising a plurality of MAC sub-headers. A MAC sub-header inthe plurality of MAC sub-headers may correspond to a MAC CE or a MAC SUD(e.g., logical channel) in the one or more MAC CEs and/or in the one ormore MAC SDUs. A MAC CE and/or a logical channel may be configured witha Logical Channel IDentifier (LCID). An LCID for a logical channeland/or a MAC CE may be fixed and/or pre-configured.

FIG. 3 shows an example of base stations (base station 1, 120A, and basestation 2, 120B) and a wireless device 110. The wireless device 110 maycomprise a UE or any other wireless device. The base station (e.g.,120A, 120B) may comprise a Node B, eNB, gNB, ng-eNB, or any other basestation. A wireless device and/or a base station may perform one or morefunctions of a relay node. The base station 1, 120A, may comprise atleast one communication interface 320A (e.g., a wireless modem, anantenna, a wired modem, and/or the like), at least one processor 321A,and at least one set of program code instructions 323A that may bestored in non-transitory memory 322A and executable by the at least oneprocessor 321A. The base station 2, 120B, may comprise at least onecommunication interface 320B, at least one processor 321B, and at leastone set of program code instructions 323B that may be stored innon-transitory memory 322B and executable by the at least one processor321B.

A base station may comprise any number of sectors, for example: 1, 2, 3,4, or 6 sectors. A base station may comprise any number of cells, forexample, ranging from 1 to 50 cells or more. A cell may be categorized,for example, as a primary cell or secondary cell. At Radio ResourceControl (RRC) connection establishment, re-establishment, handover,etc., a serving cell may provide NAS (non-access stratum) mobilityinformation (e.g., Tracking Area Identifier (TAI)). At RRC connectionre-establishment and/or handover, a serving cell may provide securityinput. This serving cell may be referred to as the Primary Cell (PCell).In the downlink, a carrier corresponding to the PCell may be a DLPrimary Component Carrier (PCC). In the uplink, a carrier may be an ULPCC. Secondary Cells (SCells) may be configured to form together with aPCell a set of serving cells, for example, depending on wireless devicecapabilities. In a downlink, a carrier corresponding to an SCell may bea downlink secondary component carrier (DL SCC). In an uplink, a carriermay be an uplink secondary component carrier (UL SCC). An SCell may ormay not have an uplink carrier.

A cell, comprising a downlink carrier and optionally an uplink carrier,may be assigned a physical cell ID and/or a cell index. A carrier(downlink and/or uplink) may belong to one cell. The cell ID and/or cellindex may identify the downlink carrier and/or uplink carrier of thecell (e.g., depending on the context it is used). A cell ID may beequally referred to as a carrier ID, and a cell index may be referred toas a carrier index. A physical cell ID and/or a cell index may beassigned to a cell. A cell ID may be determined using a synchronizationsignal transmitted via a downlink carrier. A cell index may bedetermined using RRC messages. A first physical cell ID for a firstdownlink carrier may indicate that the first physical cell ID is for acell comprising the first downlink carrier. The same concept may beused, for example, with carrier activation and/or deactivation (e.g.,secondary cell activation and/or deactivation). A first carrier that isactivated may indicate that a cell comprising the first carrier isactivated.

A base station may send (e.g., transmit) to a wireless device one ormore messages (e.g., RRC messages) comprising a plurality ofconfiguration parameters for one or more cells. One or more cells maycomprise at least one primary cell and at least one secondary cell. AnRRC message may be broadcasted and/or unicasted to the wireless device.Configuration parameters may comprise common parameters and dedicatedparameters.

Servicesand/or functions of an RRC sublayer may comprise at least one ofsecurity functions comprising key management; establishment,configuration, maintenance, and/or release of Signaling Radio Bearers(SRBs) and/or Data Radio Bearers (DRBs); mobility functions which maycomprise at least one of a handover (e.g., intra NR mobility orinter-RAT mobility) and/or a context transfer; and/or a wireless devicecell selection and/or reselection and/or control of cell selection andreselection. Services and/or functions of an RRC sublayer may compriseat least one of QoS management functions; a wireless device measurementconfiguration/reporting; detection of and/or recovery from radio linkfailure; and/or NAS message transfer to and/or from a core networkentity (e.g., AMF, Mobility Management Entity (MME)) from and/or to thewireless device.

An RRC sublayer may support an RRC_Idle state, an RRC_Inactive state,and/or an RRC_Connected state for a wireless device. In an RRC_Idlestate, a wireless device may perform at least one of: Public Land MobileNetwork (PLMN) selection; receiving broadcasted system information; cellselection and/or re-selection; monitoring and/or receiving a paging formobile terminated data initiated by 5GC; paging for mobile terminateddata area managed by 5GC; and/or DRX for CN paging configured via NAS.In an RRC_Inactive state, a wireless device may perform at least one of:receiving broadcasted system information; cell selection and/orre-selection; monitoring and/or receiving a RAN and/or CN paginginitiated by an NG-RAN and/or a 5GC; RAN-based notification area (RNA)managed by an NG-RAN; and/or DRX for a RAN and/or CN paging configuredby NG-RAN/NAS. In an RRC_Idle state of a wireless device, a base station(e.g., NG-RAN) may keep a 5GC-NG-RAN connection (e.g., both C/U-planes)for the wireless device; and/or store a wireless device AS context forthe wireless device. In an RRC_Connected state of a wireless device, abase station (e.g., NG-RAN) may perform at least one of: establishmentof 5GC-NG-RAN connection (both C/U-planes) for the wireless device;storing a UE AS context for the wireless device; send (e.g., transmit)and/or receive of unicast data to and/or from the wireless device;and/or network-controlled mobility based on measurement results receivedfrom the wireless device. In an RRC_Connected state of a wirelessdevice, an NG-RAN may know a cell to which the wireless device belongs.

System information (SI) may be divided into minimum SI and other SI. Theminimum SI may be periodically broadcast. The minimum SI may comprisebasic information required for initial access and/or information foracquiring any other SI broadcast periodically and/or provisionedon-demand (e.g., scheduling information). The other SI may either bebroadcast, and/or be provisioned in a dedicated manner, such as eithertriggered by a network and/or upon request from a wireless device. Aminimum SI may be transmitted via two different downlink channels usingdifferent messages (e.g., MasterinformationBlock andSystemInformationBlockType1). Another SI may be transmitted viaSystemInformationBlockType2. For a wireless device in an RRC_Connectedstate, dedicated RRC signalling may be used for the request and deliveryof the other SI. For the wireless device in the RRC_Idle state and/or inthe RRC_Inactive state, the request may trigger a random accessprocedure.

A wireless device may report its radio access capability information,which may be static. A base station may request one or more indicationsof capabilities for a wireless device to report based on bandinformation. A temporary capability restriction request may be sent bythe wireless device (e.g., if allowed by a network) to signal thelimited availability of some capabilities (e.g., due to hardwaresharing, interference, and/or overheating) to the base station. The basestation may confirm or reject the request. The temporary capabilityrestriction may be transparent to 5GC (e.g., static capabilities may bestored in 5GC).

A wireless device may have an RRC connection with a network, forexample, if CA is configured. At RRC connection establishment,re-establishment, and/or handover procedures, a serving cell may provideNAS mobility information. At RRC connection re-establishment and/orhandover, a serving cell may provide a security input. This serving cellmay be referred to as the PCell. SCells may be configured to formtogether with the PCell a set of serving cells, for example, dependingon the capabilities of the wireless device. The configured set ofserving cells for the wireless device may comprise a PCell and one ormore SCells.

The reconfiguration, addition, and/or removal of SCells may be performedby RRC messaging. At intra-NR handover, RRC may add, remove, and/orreconfigure SCells for usage with the target PCell. Dedicated RRCsignaling may be used (e.g., if adding a new SCell) to send all requiredsystem information of the SCell (e.g., if in connected mode, wirelessdevices may not acquire broadcasted system information directly from theSCells).

The purpose of an RRC connection reconfiguration procedure may be tomodify an RRC connection, (e.g., to establish, modify, and/or releaseRBs; to perform handover; to setup, modify, and/or release measurements,for example, to add, modify, and/or release SCells and cell groups). NASdedicated information may be transferred from the network to thewireless device, for example, as part of the RRC connectionreconfiguration procedure. The RRCConnectionReconfiguration message maybe a command to modify an RRC connection. One or more RRC messages mayconvey information for measurement configuration, mobility control,and/or radio resource configuration (e.g., RBs, MAC main configuration,and/or physical channel configuration), which may comprise anyassociated dedicated NAS information and/or security configuration. Thewireless device may perform an SCell release, for example, if thereceived RRC Connection Reconfiguration message includes thesCellToReleaseList. The wireless device may perform SCell additions ormodification, for example, if the received RRC ConnectionReconfiguration message includes the sCellToAddModList.

An RRC connection establishment, reestablishment, and/or resumeprocedure may be to establish, reestablish, and/or resume an RRCconnection, respectively. An RRC connection establishment procedure maycomprise SRB1 establishment. The RRC connection establishment proceduremay be used to transfer the initial NAS dedicated information and/ormessage from a wireless device to an E-UTRAN. TheRRCConnectionReestablishment message may be used to re-establish SRB1.

A measurement report procedure may be used to transfer measurementresults from a wireless device to an NG-RAN. The wireless device mayinitiate a measurement report procedure, for example, after successfulsecurity activation. A measurement report message may be used to send(e.g., transmit) measurement results.

The PSS/SSS 521 may occupy, for example, 1 OFDM symboland 127 subcarriers. The PBCH 516 may span across, for example, 3 OFDMsymbols and 240 subcarriers. A wireless device may assume that one ormore SS/PBCH blocks transmitted with a same block index may be quasico-located, for example, with respect to Doppler spread, Doppler shift,average gain, average delay, and/or spatial Rx parameters. A wirelessdevice may not assume quasi co-location for other SS/PBCH blocktransmissions. A periodicity of an SS/PBCH block may be configured by aradio network (e.g., by an RRC signaling). One or more time locations inwhich the SS/PBCH block may be sent may be determined by sub-carrierspacing. A wireless device may assume a band-specific sub-carrierspacing for an SS/PBCH block, for example, unless a radio network hasconfigured the wireless device to assume a different sub-carrierspacing.

A wireless devicemay be configured to use the same OFDM symbols for the downlink CSI-RS522 and the Control Resource Set (CORESET), for example, if the downlinkCSI-RS 522 and the CORESET are spatially quasi co-located and resourceelements associated with the downlink CSI-RS 522 are the outside of PRBsconfigured for the CORESET. A wireless device may be configured to usethe same OFDM symbols for downlink CSI-RS 522 and SS/PBCH blocks, forexample, if the downlink CSI-RS 522 and SS/PBCH blocks are spatiallyquasi co-located and resource elements associated with the downlinkCSI-RS 522 are outside of the PRBs configured for the SS/PBCH blocks.

Ifconfigured, a dynamic presence of the downlink PT-RS 524 may beassociated with one or more DCI parameters comprising at least MCS. Aradio network may support a plurality of PT-RS densities in atime/frequency domain. If present, a frequency domain density may beassociated with at least one configuration of a scheduled bandwidth. Awireless device may assume the same precoding for a DMRS port and aPT-RS port. A number of PT-RS ports may be less than a number of DM-RSports in a scheduled resource.

Subframe(s) may comprise one or more slots(e.g., slots 603 and 605) depending on subcarrier spacing and/or CPlength. For example, a subframe with 15 kHz, 30 kHz, 60 kHz, 120 kHz,240 kHz and 480 kHz subcarrier spacing may comprise one, two, four,eight, sixteen and thirty-two slots, respectively. In FIG. 6, a subframemay be divided into two equally sized slots 603 with 0.5 ms duration.For example, 10 subframes may be available for downlink transmission and10 subframes may be available for uplink transmissions in a 10 msinterval. Other subframe durations such as, for example, 0.5 ms, 1 ms, 2ms, and 5 ms may be supported. Uplink and downlink transmissions may beseparated in the frequency domain. Slot(s) may include a plurality ofOFDM symbols 604. The number of OFDM symbols 604 in a slot 605 maydepend on the cyclic prefix length. A slot may be 14 OFDM symbols forthe same subcarrier spacing of up to 480 kHz with normal CP. A slot maybe 12 OFDM symbols for the same subcarrier spacing of 60 kHz withextended CP. A slot may comprise downlink, uplink, and/or a downlinkpart and an uplink part, and/or alike.

FIG. 7A shows example sets of OFDM subcarriers. A base station maycommunicate with a wireless device using a carrier having an examplechannel bandwidth 700. Arrow(s) in the example may depict a subcarrierin a multicarrier OFDM system. The OFDM system may use technology suchas OFDM technology, SC-FDMA technology, and/or the like. An arrow 701shows a subcarrier transmitting information symbols. A subcarrierspacing 702, between two contiguous subcarriers in a carrier, may be anyone of 15 kHz, 30 kHz, 60 kHz, 120 kHz, 240 kHz, or any other frequency.Different subcarrier spacing may correspond to different transmissionnumerologies. A transmission numerology may comprise at least: anumerology index; a value of subcarrier spacing; and/or a type of cyclicprefix (CP). A base station may send (e.g., transmit) to and/or receivefrom a wireless device via a number of subcarriers 703 in a carrier. Abandwidth occupied by a number of subcarriers 703 (e.g., transmissionbandwidth) may be smaller than the channel bandwidth 700 of a carrier,for example, due to guard bands 704 and 705. Guard bands 704 and 705 maybe used to reduce interference to and from one or more neighborcarriers. A number of subcarriers (e.g., transmission bandwidth) in acarrier may depend on the channel bandwidth of the carrier and/or thesubcarrier spacing. A transmission bandwidth, for a carrier with a 20MHz channel bandwidth and a 15 kHz subcarrier spacing, may be in numberof 1024 subcarriers.

A base station and a wireless device may communicate with multiplecomponent carriers (CCs), for example, if configured with CA. Differentcomponent carriers may have different bandwidth and/or differentsubcarrier spacing, for example, if CA is supported. A base station maysend (e.g., transmit) a first type of service to a wireless device via afirst component carrier. The base station may send (e.g., transmit) asecond type of service to the wireless device via a second componentcarrier. Different types of services may have different servicerequirements (e.g., data rate, latency, reliability), which may besuitable for transmission via different component carriers havingdifferent subcarrier spacing and/or different bandwidth.

FIG. 7B shows examples of component carriers. A first component carriermay comprise a first number of subcarriers 706 having a first subcarrierspacing 709. A second component carrier may comprise a second number ofsubcarriers 707 having a second subcarrier spacing 710. A thirdcomponent carrier may comprise a third number of subcarriers 708 havinga third subcarrier spacing 711. Carriers in a multicarrier OFDMcommunication system may be contiguous carriers, non-contiguouscarriers, or a combination of both contiguous and non-contiguouscarriers.

FIG. 8 shows an example of OFDM radio resources. A carrier may have atransmission bandwidth 801. A resource grid may be in a structure offrequency domain 802 and time domain 803. A resource grid may comprise afirst number of OFDM symbols in a subframe and a second number ofresource blocks, starting from a common resource block indicated byhigher-layer signaling (e.g., RRC signaling), for a transmissionnumerology and a carrier. In a resource grid, a resource element 805 maycomprise a resource unit that may be identified by a subcarrier indexand a symbol index. A subframe may comprise a first number of OFDMsymbols 807 that may depend on a numerology associated with a carrier. Asubframe may have 14 OFDM symbols for a carrier, for example, if asubcarrier spacing of a numerology of a carrier is 15 kHz. A subframemay have 28 OFDM symbols, for example, if a subcarrier spacing of anumerology is 30 kHz. A subframe may have 56 OFDM symbols, for example,if a subcarrier spacing of a numerology is 60 kHz. A subcarrier spacingof a numerology may comprise any other frequency. A second number ofresource blocks comprised in a resource grid of a carrier may depend ona bandwidth and a numerology of the carrier.

A resource block 806 may comprise 12 subcarriers. Multiple resourceblocks may be grouped into a Resource Block Group (RBG) 804. A size of aRBG may depend on at least one of: a RRC message indicating a RBG sizeconfiguration; a size of a carrier bandwidth; and/or a size of abandwidth part of a carrier. A carrier may comprise multiple bandwidthparts. A first bandwidth part of a carrier may have a differentfrequency location and/or a different bandwidth from a second bandwidthpart of the carrier.

A base station may send (e.g., transmit), to a wireless device, adownlink control information comprising a downlink or uplink resourceblock assignment. A base station may send (e.g., transmit) to and/orreceive from, a wireless device, data packets (e.g., transport blocks).The data packets may be scheduled on and transmitted via one or moreresource blocks and one or more slots indicated by parameters indownlink control information and/or RRC message(s). A starting symbolrelative to a first slot of the one or more slots may be indicated tothe wireless device. A base station may send (e.g., transmit) to and/orreceive from, a wireless device, data packets. The data packets may bescheduled for transmission on one or more RBGs and in one or more slots.

A base station may send (e.g., transmit), to a wireless device, downlinkcontrol information comprising a downlink assignment. The base stationmay send (e.g., transmit) the DCI via one or more PDCCHs. The downlinkassignment may comprise parameters indicating at least one of amodulation and coding format; resource allocation; and/or HARQinformation related to the DL-SCH. The resource allocation may compriseparameters of resource block allocation; and/or slot allocation. A basestation may allocate (e.g., dynamically) resources to a wireless device,for example, via a Cell-Radio Network Temporary Identifier (C-RNTI) onone or more PDCCHs. The wireless device may monitor the one or morePDCCHs, for example, in order to find possible allocation if itsdownlink reception is enabled. The wireless device may receive one ormore downlink data packets on one or more PDSCH scheduled by the one ormore PDCCHs, for example, if the wireless device successfully detectsthe one or more PDCCHs.

A base station may allocate Configured Scheduling (CS) resources fordown link transmission to a wireless device. The base station may send(e.g., transmit) one or more RRC messages indicating a periodicity ofthe CS grant. The base station may send (e.g., transmit) DCI via a PDCCHaddressed to a Configured Scheduling-RNTI (CS-RNTI) activating the CSresources. The DCI may comprise parameters indicating that the downlinkgrant is a CS grant. The CS grant may be implicitly reused according tothe periodicity defined by the one or more RRC messages. The CS grantmay be implicitly reused, for example, until deactivated.

A base station may send (e.g., transmit), to a wireless device via oneor more PDCCHs, downlink control information comprising an uplink grant.The uplink grant may comprise parameters indicating at least one of amodulation and coding format; a resource allocation; and/or HARQinformation related to the UL-SCH. The resource allocation may compriseparameters of resource block allocation; and/or slot allocation. Thebase station may dynamically allocate resources to the wireless devicevia a C-RNTI on one or more PDCCHs. The wireless device may monitor theone or more PDCCHs, for example, in order to find possible resourceallocation. The wireless device may send (e.g., transmit) one or moreuplink data packets via one or more PUSCH scheduled by the one or morePDCCHs, for example, if the wireless device successfully detects the oneor more PDCCHs.

The base station may allocate CS resources for uplink data transmissionto a wireless device. The base station may transmit one or more RRCmessages indicating a periodicity of the CS grant. The base station maysend (e.g., transmit) DCI via a PDCCH addressed to a CS-RNTI to activatethe CS resources. The DCI may comprise parameters indicating that theuplink grant is a CS grant. The CS grant may be implicitly reusedaccording to the periodicity defined by the one or more RRC message, TheCS grant may be implicitly reused, for example, until deactivated.

A base station may send (e.g., transmit) DCI and/or control signalingvia a PDCCH. The DCI may comprise a format of a plurality of formats.The DCI may comprise downlink and/or uplink scheduling information(e.g., resource allocation information, HARQ related parameters, MCS),request(s) for CSI (e.g., aperiodic CQI reports), request(s) for an SRS,uplink power control commands for one or more cells, one or more timinginformation (e.g., TB transmission/reception timing, HARQ feedbacktiming, etc.), and/or the like. The DCI may indicate an uplink grantcomprising transmission parameters for one or more transport blocks. TheDCI may indicate a downlink assignment indicating parameters forreceiving one or more transport blocks. The DCI may be used by the basestation to initiate a contention-free random access at the wirelessdevice. The base station may send (e.g., transmit) DCI comprising a slotformat indicator (SFI) indicating a slot format. The base station maysend (e.g., transmit) DCI comprising a preemption indication indicatingthe PRB(s) and/or OFDM symbol(s) in which a wireless device may assumeno transmission is intended for the wireless device. The base stationmay send (e.g., transmit) DCI for group power control of the PUCCH, thePUSCH, and/or an SRS. DCI may correspond to an RNTI. The wireless devicemay obtain an RNTI after or in response to completing the initial access(e.g., C-RNTI). The base station may configure an RNTI for the wireless(e.g., CS-RNTI, TPC-CS-RNTI, TPC-PUCCH-RNTI, TPC-PUSCH-RNTI,TPC-SRS-RNTI, etc.). The wireless device may determine (e.g., compute)an RNTI (e.g., the wireless device may determine the RA-RNTI based onresources used for transmission of a preamble). An RNTI may have apre-configured value (e.g., P-RNTI or SI-RNTI). The wireless device maymonitor a group common search space which may be used by the basestation for sending (e.g., transmitting) DCIs that are intended for agroup of wireless devices. A group common DCI may correspond to an RNTIwhich is commonly configured for a group of wireless devices. Thewireless device may monitor a wireless device-specific search space. Awireless device specific DCI may correspond to an RNTI configured forthe wireless device.

A communications system (e.g., an NR system) may support a single beamoperation and/or a multi-beam operation. In a multi-beam operation, abase station may perform a downlink beam sweeping to provide coveragefor common control channels and/or downlink SS blocks, which maycomprise at least a PSS, a SSS, and/or PBCH. A wireless device maymeasure quality of a beam pair link using one or more RSs. One or moreSS blocks, or one or more CSI-RS resources (e.g., which may beassociated with a CSI-RS resource index (CRI)), and/or one or moreDM-RSs of a PBCH, may be used as an RS for measuring a quality of a beampair link. The quality of a beam pair link may be based on a referencesignal received power (RSRP) value, a reference signal received quality(RSRQ) value, and/or a CSI value measured on RS resources. The basestation may indicate whether an RS resource, used for measuring a beampair link quality, is quasi-co-located (QCLed) with DM-RSs of a controlchannel. An RS resource and DM-RSs of a control channel may be calledQCLed, for example, if channel characteristics from a transmission on anRS to a wireless device, and that from a transmission on a controlchannel to a wireless device, are similar or the same under a configuredcriterion. In a multi-beam operation, a wireless device may perform anuplink beam sweeping to access a cell.

A wireless device may be configured to monitor a PDCCH on one or morebeam pair links simultaneously, for example, depending on a capabilityof the wireless device. This monitoring may increase robustness againstbeam pair link blocking. A base station may send (e.g., transmit) one ormore messages to configure the wireless device to monitor the PDCCH onone or more beam pair links in different PDCCH OFDM symbols. A basestation may send (e.g., transmit) higher layer signaling (e.g., RRCsignaling) and/or a MAC CE comprising parameters related to the Rx beamsetting of the wireless device for monitoring the PDCCH on one or morebeam pair links. The base station may send (e.g., transmit) anindication of a spatial QCL assumption between an DL RS antenna port(s)(e.g., a cell-specific CSI-RS, a wireless device-specific CSI-RS, an SSblock, and/or a PBCH with or without DM-RSs of the PBCH) and/or DL RSantenna port(s) for demodulation of a DL control channel. Signaling forbeam indication for a PDCCH may comprise MAC CE signaling, RRCsignaling, DCI signaling, and/or specification-transparent and/orimplicit method, and/or any combination of signaling methods.

A base station may indicate spatial QCL parameters between DL RS antennaport(s) and DM-RS antenna port(s) of a DL data channel, for example, forreception of a unicast DL data channel. The base station may send (e.g.,transmit) DCI (e.g., downlink grants) comprising information indicatingthe RS antenna port(s). The information may indicate RS antenna port(s)that may be QCL-ed with the DM-RS antenna port(s). A different set ofDM-RS antenna port(s) for a DL data channel may be indicated as QCL witha different set of the RS antenna port(s).

FIG. 9A shows an example of beam sweeping in a DL channel. In anRRC_INACTIVE state or RRC_IDLE state, a wireless device may assume thatSS blocks form an SS burst 940, and an SS burst set 950. The SS burstset 950 may have a given periodicity. A base station 120 may send (e.g.,transmit) SS blocks in multiple beams, together forming a SS burst 940,for example, in a multi-beam operation. One or more SS blocks may besent (e.g., transmitted) on one beam. If multiple SS bursts 940 aretransmitted with multiple beams, SS bursts together may form SS burstset 950.

A wireless device may use CSI-RS for estimating a beam quality of a linkbetween a wireless device and a base station, for example, in the multibeam operation. A beam may be associated with a CSI-RS. A wirelessdevice may (e.g., based on a RSRP measurement on CSI-RS) report a beamindex, which may be indicated in a CRI for downlink beam selectionand/or associated with an RSRP value of a beam. A CSI-RS may be sent(e.g., transmitted) on a CSI-RS resource, which may comprise at leastone of: one or more antenna ports and/or one or more time and/orfrequency radio resources. A CSI-RS resource may be configured in acell-specific way such as by common RRC signaling, or in a wirelessdevice-specific way such as by dedicated RRC signaling and/or L1/L2signaling. Multiple wireless devices covered by a cell may measure acell-specific CSI-RS resource. A dedicated subset of wireless devicescovered by a cell may measure a wireless device-specific CSI-RSresource.

A CSI-RS resource may be sent (e.g., transmitted) periodically, usingaperiodic transmission, or using a multi-shot or semi-persistenttransmission. In a periodic transmission in FIG. 9A, a base station 120may send (e.g., transmit) configured CSI-RS resources 940 periodicallyusing a configured periodicity in a time domain. In an aperiodictransmission, a configured CSI-RS resource may be sent (e.g.,transmitted) in a dedicated time slot. In a multi-shot and/orsemi-persistent transmission, a configured CSI-RS resource may be sent(e.g., transmitted) within a configured period. Beams used for CSI-RStransmission may have a different beam width than beams used forSS-blocks transmission.

FIG. 9B shows an example of a beam management procedure, such as in anexample new radio network. The base station 120 and/or the wirelessdevice 110 may perform a downlink L1/L2 beam management procedure. Oneor more of the following downlink L1/L2 beam management procedures maybe performed within one or more wireless devices 110 and one or morebase stations 120. A P1 procedure 910 may be used to enable the wirelessdevice 110 to measure one or more Transmission (Tx) beams associatedwith the base station 120, for example, to support a selection of afirst set of Tx beams associated with the base station 120 and a firstset of Rx beam(s) associated with the wireless device 110. A basestation 120 may sweep a set of different Tx beams, for example, forbeamforming at a base station 120 (such as shown in the top row, in acounter-clockwise direction). A wireless device 110 may sweep a set ofdifferent Rx beams, for example, for beamforming at a wireless device110 (such as shown in the bottom row, in a clockwise direction). A P2procedure 920 may be used to enable a wireless device 110 to measure oneor more Tx beams associated with a base station 120, for example, topossibly change a first set of Tx beams associated with a base station120. A P2 procedure 920 may be performed on a possibly smaller set ofbeams (e.g., for beam refinement) than in the P1 procedure 910. A P2procedure 920 may be a special example of a P1 procedure 910. A P3procedure 930 may be used to enable a wireless device 110 to measure atleast one Tx beam associated with a base station 120, for example, tochange a first set of Rx beams associated with a wireless device 110.

A wireless device 110 may send (e.g., transmit) one or more beammanagement reports to a base station 120. In one or more beam managementreports, a wireless device 110 may indicate one or more beam pairquality parameters comprising one or more of: a beam identification; anRSRP; a Precoding Matrix Indicator (PMI), Channel Quality Indicator(CQI), and/or Rank Indicator (RI) of a subset of configured beams. Basedon one or more beam management reports, the base station 120 may send(e.g., transmit) to a wireless device 110 a signal indicating that oneor more beam pair links are one or more serving beams. The base station120 may send (e.g., transmit) the PDCCH and the PDSCH for a wirelessdevice 110 using one or more serving beams.

A communications network (e.g., a new radio network) may support aBandwidth Adaptation (BA). Receive and/or transmit bandwidths that maybe configured for a wireless device using a BA may not be large. Receiveand/or transmit bandwidth may not be as large as a bandwidth of a cell.Receive and/or transmit bandwidths may be adjustable. A wireless devicemay change receive and/or transmit bandwidths, for example, to reduce(e.g., shrink) the bandwidth(s) at (e.g., during) a period of lowactivity such as to save power. A wireless device may change a locationof receive and/or transmit bandwidths in a frequency domain, forexample, to increase scheduling flexibility. A wireless device maychange a subcarrier spacing, for example, to allow different services.

A Bandwidth Part (BWP) may comprise a subset of a total cell bandwidthof a cell. A base station may configure a wireless device with one ormore BWPs, for example, to achieve a BA. A base station may indicate, toa wireless device, which of the one or more (configured) BWPs is anactive BWP.

FIG. 10 shows an example of BWP configurations. BWPs may be configuredas follows: BWP1 (1010 and 1050) with a width of 40 MHz and subcarrierspacing of 15 kHz; BWP2 (1020 and 1040) with a width of 10 MHz andsubcarrier spacing of 15 kHz; BWP3 1030 with a width of 20 MHz andsubcarrier spacing of 60 kHz. Any number of BWP configurations maycomprise any other width and subcarrier spacing combination.

A wireless device, configured for operation in one or more BWPs of acell, may be configured by one or more higher layers (e.g., RRC layer).The wireless device may be configured for a cell with: a set of one ormore BWPs (e.g., at most four BWPs) for reception (e.g., a DL BWP set)in a DL bandwidth by at least one parameter DL-BWP; and a set of one ormore BWPs (e.g., at most four BWPs) for transmissions (e.g., UL BWP set)in an UL bandwidth by at least one parameter UL-BWP.

A base station may configure a wireless device with one or more UL andDL BWP pairs, for example, to enable BA on the PCell. To enable BA onSCells (e.g., for CA), a base station may configure a wireless device atleast with one or more DL BWPs (e.g., there may be none in an UL).

An initial active DL BWP may comprise at least one of a location andnumber of contiguous PRBs, a subcarrier spacing, or a cyclic prefix, forexample, for a control resource set for at least one common searchspace. For operation on the PCell, one or more higher layer parametersmay indicate at least one initial UL BWP for a random access procedure.If a wireless device is configured with a secondary carrier on a primarycell, the wireless device may be configured with an initial BWP forrandom access procedure on a secondary carrier.

A wireless device may expect that a center frequency for a DL BWP may besame as a center frequency for an UL BWP, for example, for unpairedspectrum operation. A base station may semi-statically configure awireless device for a cell with one or more parameters, for example, fora DL BWP or an UL BWP in a set of one or more DL BWPs or one or more ULBWPs, respectively. The one or more parameters may indicate one or moreof following: a subcarrier spacing; a cyclic prefix; a number ofcontiguous PRBs; an index in the set of one or more DL BWPs and/or oneor more UL BWPs; a link between a DL BWP and an UL BWP from a set ofconfigured DL BWPs and UL BWPs; a DCI detection to a PDSCH receptiontiming; a PDSCH reception to a HARQ-ACK transmission timing value; a DCIdetection to a PUSCH transmission timing value; and/or an offset of afirst PRB of a DL bandwidth or an UL bandwidth, respectively, relativeto a first PRB of a bandwidth.

For a DL BWP in a set of one or more DL BWPs on a PCell, a base stationmay configure a wireless device with one or more control resource setsfor at least one type of common search space and/or one wirelessdevice-specific search space. A base station may not configure awireless device without a common search space on a PCell, or on aPSCell, in an active DL BWP. For an UL BWP in a set of one or more ULBWPs, a base station may configure a wireless device with one or moreresource sets for one or more PUCCH transmissions.

DCI may comprise a BWP indicator field. The BWP indicator field valuemay indicate an active DL BWP, from a configured DL BWP set, for one ormore DL receptions. The BWP indicator field value may indicate an activeUL BWP, from a configured UL BWP set, for one or more UL transmissions.

For a PCell, a base station may semi-statically configure a wirelessdevice with a default DL BWP among configured DL BWPs. If a wirelessdevice is not provided a default DL BWP, a default BWP may be an initialactive DL BWP.

A base station may configure a wireless device with a timer value for aPCell. A wireless device may start a timer (e.g., a BWP inactivitytimer), for example, if a wireless device detects DCI indicating anactive DL BWP, other than a default DL BWP, for a paired spectrumoperation, and/or if a wireless device detects DCI indicating an activeDL BWP or UL BWP, other than a default DL BWP or UL BWP, for an unpairedspectrum operation. The wireless device may increment the timer by aninterval of a first value (e.g., the first value may be 1 millisecond,0.5 milliseconds, or any other time duration), for example, if thewireless device does not detect DCI at (e.g., during) the interval for apaired spectrum operation or for an unpaired spectrum operation. Thetimer may expire at a time that the timer is equal to the timer value. Awireless device may switch to the default DL BWP from an active DL BWP,for example, if the timer expires.

A base station may semi-statically configure a wireless device with oneor more BWPs. A wireless device may switch an active BWP from a firstBWP to a second BWP, for example, after or in response to receiving DCIindicating the second BWP as an active BWP, and/or after or in responseto an expiry of BWP inactivity timer (e.g., the second BWP may be adefault BWP). FIG. 10 shows an example of three BWPs configured, BWP1(1010 and 1050), BWP2 (1020 and 1040), and BWP3 (1030). BWP2 (1020 and1040) may be a default BWP. BWP1 (1010) may be an initial active BWP. Awireless device may switch an active BWP from BWP1 1010 to BWP2 1020,for example, after or in response to an expiry of the BWP inactivitytimer. A wireless device may switch an active BWP from BWP2 1020 to BWP31030, for example, after or in response to receiving DCI indicating BWP31030 as an active BWP. Switching an active BWP from BWP3 1030 to BWP21040 and/or from BWP2 1040 to BWP1 1050 may be after or in response toreceiving DCI indicating an active BWP, and/or after or in response toan expiry of BWP inactivity timer.

Wireless device procedures on a secondary cell may be same as on aprimary cell using the timer value for the secondary cell and thedefault DL BWP for the secondary cell, for example, if a wireless deviceis configured for a secondary cell with a default DL BWP amongconfigured DL BWPs and a timer value. A wireless device may use anindicated DL BWP and an indicated UL BWP on a secondary cell as arespective first active DL BWP and first active UL BWP on a secondarycell or carrier, for example, if a base station configures a wirelessdevice with a first active DL BWP and a first active UL BWP on asecondary cell or carrier.

FIG. 11A and FIG. 11B show packet flows using a multi connectivity(e.g., dual connectivity, multi connectivity, tight interworking, and/orthe like). FIG. 11A shows an example of a protocol structure of awireless device 110 (e.g., UE) with CA and/or multi connectivity. FIG.11B shows an example of a protocol structure of multiple base stationswith CA and/or multi connectivity. The multiple base stations maycomprise a master node, MN 1130 (e.g., a master node, a master basestation, a master gNB, a master eNB, and/or the like) and a secondarynode, SN 1150 (e.g., a secondary node, a secondary base station, asecondary gNB, a secondary eNB, and/or the like). A master node 1130 anda secondary node 1150 may co-work to communicate with a wireless device110.

If multi connectivity is configured for a wireless device 110, thewireless device 110, which may support multiple reception and/ortransmission functions in an RRC connected state, may be configured toutilize radio resources provided by multiple schedulers of a multiplebase stations. Multiple base stations may be inter-connected via anon-ideal or ideal backhaul (e.g., Xn interface, X2 interface, and/orthe like). A base station involved in multi connectivity for a certainwireless device may perform at least one of two different roles: a basestation may act as a master base station or act as a secondary basestation. In multi connectivity, a wireless device may be connected toone master base station and one or more secondary base stations. Amaster base station (e.g., the MN 1130) may provide a master cell group(MCG) comprising a primary cell and/or one or more secondary cells for awireless device (e.g., the wireless device 110). A secondary basestation (e.g., the SN 1150) may provide a secondary cell group (SCG)comprising a primary secondary cell (PSCell) and/or one or moresecondary cells for a wireless device (e.g., the wireless device 110).

In multi connectivity, a radio protocol architecture that a bearer usesmay depend on how a bearer is setup. Three different types of bearersetup options may be supported: an MCG bearer, an SCG bearer, and/or asplit bearer. A wireless device may receive and/or send (e.g., transmit)packets of an MCG bearer via one or more cells of the MCG. A wirelessdevice may receive and/or send (e.g., transmit) packets of an SCG bearervia one or more cells of an SCG. Multi-connectivity may indicate havingat least one bearer configured to use radio resources provided by thesecondary base station. Multi-connectivity may or may not be configuredand/or implemented.

A wireless device (e.g., wireless device 110) may send (e.g., transmit)and/or receive: packets of an MCG bearer via an SDAP layer (e.g., SDAP1110), a PDCP layer (e.g., NR PDCP 1111), an RLC layer (e.g., MN RLC1114), and a MAC layer (e.g., MN MAC 1118); packets of a split bearervia an SDAP layer (e.g., SDAP 1110), a PDCP layer (e.g., NR PDCP 1112),one of a master or secondary RLC layer (e.g., MN RLC 1115, SN RLC 1116),and one of a master or secondary MAC layer (e.g., MN MAC 1118, SN MAC1119); and/or packets of an SCG bearer via an SDAP layer (e.g., SDAP1110), a PDCP layer (e.g., NR PDCP 1113), an RLC layer (e.g., SN RLC1117), and a MAC layer (e.g., MN MAC 1119).

A master base station (e.g., MN 1130) and/or a secondary base station(e.g., SN 1150) may send (e.g., transmit) and/or receive: packets of anMCG bearer via a master or secondary node SDAP layer (e.g., SDAP 1120,SDAP 1140), a master or secondary node PDCP layer (e.g., NR PDCP 1121,NR PDCP 1142), a master node RLC layer (e.g., MN RLC 1124, MN RLC 1125),and a master node MAC layer (e.g., MN MAC 1128); packets of an SCGbearer via a master or secondary node SDAP layer (e.g., SDAP 1120, SDAP1140), a master or secondary node PDCP layer (e.g., NR PDCP 1122, NRPDCP 1143), a secondary node RLC layer (e.g., SN RLC 1146, SN RLC 1147),and a secondary node MAC layer (e.g., SN MAC 1148); packets of a splitbearer via a master or secondary node SDAP layer (e.g., SDAP 1120, SDAP1140), a master or secondary node PDCP layer (e.g., NR PDCP 1123, NRPDCP 1141), a master or secondary node RLC layer (e.g., MN RLC 1126, SNRLC 1144, SN RLC 1145, MN RLC 1127), and a master or secondary node MAClayer (e.g., MN MAC 1128, SN MAC 1148).

In multi connectivity, a wireless device may configure multiple MACentities, such as one MAC entity (e.g., MN MAC 1118) for a master basestation, and other MAC entities (e.g., SN MAC 1119) for a secondary basestation. In multi-connectivity, a configured set of serving cells for awireless device may comprise two subsets: an MCG comprising servingcells of a master base station, and SCGs comprising serving cells of asecondary base station. For an SCG, one or more of followingconfigurations may be used. At least one cell of an SCG may have aconfigured UL CC and at least one cell of a SCG, named as primarysecondary cell (e.g., PSCell, PCell of SCG, PCell), and may beconfigured with PUCCH resources. If an SCG is configured, there may beat least one SCG bearer or one split bearer. After or upon detection ofa physical layer problem or a random access problem on a PSCell, or anumber of NR RLC retransmissions has been reached associated with theSCG, or after or upon detection of an access problem on a PSCellassociated with (e.g., during) a SCG addition or an SCG change: an RRCconnection re-establishment procedure may not be triggered, ULtransmissions towards cells of an SCG may be stopped, a master basestation may be informed by a wireless device of a SCG failure type, a DLdata transfer over a master base station may be maintained (e.g., for asplit bearer). An NR RLC acknowledged mode (AM) bearer may be configuredfor a split bearer. A PCell and/or a PSCell may not be de-activated. APSCell may be changed with a SCG change procedure (e.g., with securitykey change and a RACH procedure). A bearer type change between a splitbearer and a SCG bearer, and/or simultaneous configuration of a SCG anda split bearer, may or may not be supported.

With respect to interactions between a master base station and asecondary base stations for multi-connectivity, one or more of thefollowing may be used. A master base station and/or a secondary basestation may maintain RRM measurement configurations of a wirelessdevice. A master base station may determine (e.g., based on receivedmeasurement reports, traffic conditions, and/or bearer types) to requesta secondary base station to provide additional resources (e.g., servingcells) for a wireless device. After or upon receiving a request from amaster base station, a secondary base station may create and/or modify acontainer that may result in a configuration of additional serving cellsfor a wireless device (or decide that the secondary base station has noresource available to do so). For a wireless device capabilitycoordination, a master base station may provide (e.g., all or a part of)an AS configuration and wireless device capabilities to a secondary basestation. A master base station and a secondary base station may exchangeinformation about a wireless device configuration such as by using RRCcontainers (e.g., inter-node messages) carried via Xn messages. Asecondary base station may initiate a reconfiguration of the secondarybase station existing serving cells (e.g., PUCCH towards the secondarybase station). A secondary base station may decide which cell is aPSCell within a SCG. A master base station may or may not change contentof RRC configurations provided by a secondary base station. A masterbase station may provide recent (and/or the latest) measurement resultsfor SCG cell(s), for example, if an SCG addition and/or an SCG SCelladdition occurs. A master base station and secondary base stations mayreceive information of SFN and/or subframe offset of each other from anOAM and/or via an Xn interface (e.g., for a purpose of DRX alignmentand/or identification of a measurement gap). Dedicated RRC signaling maybe used for sending required system information of a cell as for CA, forexample, if adding a new SCG SCell, except for an SFN acquired from anMIB of a PSCell of a SCG.

FIG. 12 shows an example of a random access procedure. One or moreevents may trigger a random access procedure. For example, one or moreevents may be at least one of following: initial access from RRC_IDLE,RRC connection re-establishment procedure, handover, DL or UL dataarrival in (e.g., during) a state of RRC_CONNECTED (e.g., if ULsynchronization status is non-synchronized), transition fromRRC_Inactive, and/or request for other system information. A PDCCHorder, a MAC entity, and/or a beam failure indication may initiate arandom access procedure.

A random access procedure may comprise or be one of at least acontention based random access procedure and/or a contention free randomaccess procedure. A contention based random access procedure maycomprise one or more Msg 1 1220 transmissions, one or more Msg2 1230transmissions, one or more Msg3 1240 transmissions, and contentionresolution 1250. A contention free random access procedure may compriseone or more Msg 1 1220 transmissions and one or more Msg2 1230transmissions. One or more of Msg 1 1220, Msg 2 1230, Msg 3 1240, and/orcontention resolution 1250 may be transmitted in the same step. Atwo-step random access procedure, for example, may comprise a firsttransmission (e.g., Msg A) and a second transmission (e.g., Msg B). Thefirst transmission (e.g., Msg A) may comprise transmitting, by awireless device (e.g., wireless device 110) to a base station (e.g.,base station 120), one or more messages indicating an equivalent and/orsimilar contents of Msg1 1220 and Msg3 1240 of a four-step random accessprocedure. The second transmission (e.g., Msg B) may comprisetransmitting, by the base station (e.g., base station 120) to a wirelessdevice (e.g., wireless device 110) after or in response to the firstmessage, one or more messages indicating an equivalent and/or similarcontent of Msg2 1230 and contention resolution 1250 of a four-steprandom access procedure.

A base station may send (e.g., transmit, unicast, multicast, broadcast,etc.), to a wireless device, a RACH configuration 1210 via one or morebeams. The RACH configuration 1210 may comprise one or more parametersindicating at least one of following: an available set of PRACHresources for a transmission of a random access preamble, initialpreamble power (e.g., random access preamble initial received targetpower), an RSRP threshold for a selection of a SS block andcorresponding PRACH resource, a power-ramping factor (e.g., randomaccess preamble power ramping step), a random access preamble index, amaximum number of preamble transmissions, preamble group A and group B,a threshold (e.g., message size) to determine the groups of randomaccess preambles, a set of one or more random access preambles for asystem information request and corresponding PRACH resource(s) (e.g., ifany), a set of one or more random access preambles for a beam failurerecovery procedure and corresponding PRACH resource(s) (e.g., if any), atime window to monitor RA response(s), a time window to monitorresponse(s) on a beam failure recovery procedure, and/or a contentionresolution timer.

The Msg1 1220 may comprise one or more transmissions of a random accesspreamble. For a contention based random access procedure, a wirelessdevice may select an SS block with an RSRP above the RSRP threshold. Ifrandom access preambles group B exists, a wireless device may select oneor more random access preambles from a group A or a group B, forexample, depending on a potential Msg3 1240 size. If a random accesspreambles group B does not exist, a wireless device may select the oneor more random access preambles from a group A. A wireless device mayselect a random access preamble index randomly (e.g., with equalprobability or a normal distribution) from one or more random accesspreambles associated with a selected group. If a base stationsemi-statically configures a wireless device with an association betweenrandom access preambles and SS blocks, the wireless device may select arandom access preamble index randomly with equal probability from one ormore random access preambles associated with a selected SS block and aselected group.

A wireless device may initiate a contention free random accessprocedure, for example, based on a beam failure indication from a lowerlayer. A base station may semi-statically configure a wireless devicewith one or more contention free PRACH resources for a beam failurerecovery procedure associated with at least one of SS blocks and/orCSI-RSs. A wireless device may select a random access preamble indexcorresponding to a selected SS block or a CSI-RS from a set of one ormore random access preambles for a beam failure recovery procedure, forexample, if at least one of the SS blocks with an RSRP above a firstRSRP threshold amongst associated SS blocks is available, and/or if atleast one of CSI-RSs with a RSRP above a second RSRP threshold amongstassociated CSI-RSs is available.

A wireless device may receive, from a base station, a random accesspreamble index via PDCCH or RRC for a contention free random accessprocedure. The wireless device may select a random access preambleindex, for example, if a base station does not configure a wirelessdevice with at least one contention free PRACH resource associated withSS blocks or CSI-RS. The wireless device may select the at least one SSblock and/or select a random access preamble corresponding to the atleast one SS block, for example, if a base station configures thewireless device with one or more contention free PRACH resourcesassociated with SS blocks and/or if at least one SS block with a RSRPabove a first RSRP threshold amongst associated SS blocks is available.The wireless device may select the at least one CSI-RS and/or select arandom access preamble corresponding to the at least one CSI-RS, forexample, if a base station configures a wireless device with one or morecontention free PRACH resources associated with CSI-RSs and/or if atleast one CSI-RS with a RSRP above a second RSPR threshold amongst theassociated CSI-RSs is available.

A wireless device may perform one or more Msg1 1220 transmissions, forexample, by sending (e.g., transmitting) the selected random accesspreamble. The wireless device may determine a PRACH occasion from one ormore PRACH occasions corresponding to a selected SS block, for example,if the wireless device selects an SS block and is configured with anassociation between one or more PRACH occasions and/or one or more SSblocks. The wireless device may determine a PRACH occasion from one ormore PRACH occasions corresponding to a selected CSI-RS, for example, ifthe wireless device selects a CSI-RS and is configured with anassociation between one or more PRACH occasions and one or more CSI-RSs.The wireless device may send (e.g., transmit), to a base station, aselected random access preamble via a selected PRACH occasions. Thewireless device may determine a transmit power for a transmission of aselected random access preamble at least based on an initial preamblepower and a power-ramping factor. The wireless device may determine anRA-RNTI associated with a selected PRACH occasion in which a selectedrandom access preamble is sent (e.g., transmitted). The wireless devicemay not determine an RA-RNTI for a beam failure recovery procedure. Thewireless device may determine an RA-RNTI at least based on an index of afirst OFDM symbol, an index of a first slot of a selected PRACHoccasions, and/or an uplink carrier index for a transmission of Msg11220.

A wireless device may receive, from a base station, a random accessresponse, Msg 2 1230. The wireless device may start a time window (e.g.,ra-ResponseWindow) to monitor a random access response. For a beamfailure recovery procedure, the base station may configure the wirelessdevice with a different time window (e.g., bfr-ResponseWindow) tomonitor response to on a beam failure recovery request. The wirelessdevice may start a time window (e.g., ra-ResponseWindow orbfr-ResponseWindow) at a start of a first PDCCH occasion, for example,after a fixed duration of one or more symbols from an end of a preambletransmission. If the wireless device sends (e.g., transmits) multiplepreambles, the wireless device may start a time window at a start of afirst PDCCH occasion after a fixed duration of one or more symbols froman end of a first preamble transmission. The wireless device may monitora PDCCH of a cell for at least one random access response identified bya RA-RNTI, or for at least one response to a beam failure recoveryrequest identified by a C-RNTI, at a time that a timer for a time windowis running.

A wireless device may determine that a reception of random accessresponse is successful, for example, if at least one random accessresponse comprises a random access preamble identifier corresponding toa random access preamble sent (e.g., transmitted) by the wirelessdevice. The wireless device may determine that the contention freerandom access procedure is successfully completed, for example, if areception of a random access response is successful. The wireless devicemay determine that a contention free random access procedure issuccessfully complete, for example, if a contention free random accessprocedure is triggered for a beam failure recovery request and if aPDCCH transmission is addressed to a C-RNTI. The wireless device maydetermine that the random access procedure is successfully completed,and may indicate a reception of an acknowledgement for a systeminformation request to upper layers, for example, if at least one randomaccess response comprises a random access preamble identifier. Thewireless device may stop sending (e.g., transmitting) remainingpreambles (if any) after or in response to a successful reception of acorresponding random access response, for example, if the wirelessdevice has signaled multiple preamble transmissions.

The wireless device may perform one or more Msg 3 1240 transmissions,for example, after or in response to a successful reception of randomaccess response (e.g., for a contention based random access procedure).The wireless device may adjust an uplink transmission timing, forexample, based on a timing advanced command indicated by a random accessresponse. The wireless device may send (e.g., transmit) one or moretransport blocks, for example, based on an uplink grant indicated by arandom access response. Subcarrier spacing for PUSCH transmission forMsg3 1240 may be provided by at least one higher layer (e.g., RRC)parameter. The wireless device may send (e.g., transmit) a random accesspreamble via a PRACH, and Msg3 1240 via PUSCH, on the same cell. A basestation may indicate an UL BWP for a PUSCH transmission of Msg3 1240 viasystem information block. The wireless device may use HARQ for aretransmission of Msg 3 1240.

Multiple wireless devices may perform Msg 1 1220, for example, bysending (e.g., transmitting) the same preamble to a base station. Themultiple wireless devices may receive, from the base station, the samerandom access response comprising an identity (e.g., TC-RNTI).Contention resolution (e.g., comprising the wireless device 110receiving contention resolution 1250) may be used to increase thelikelihood that a wireless device does not incorrectly use an identityof another wireless device. The contention resolution 1250 may be basedon, for example, a C-RNTI on a PDCCH, and/or a wireless devicecontention resolution identity on a DL-SCH. If a base station assigns aC-RNTI to a wireless device, the wireless device may perform contentionresolution (e.g., comprising receiving contention resolution 1250), forexample, based on a reception of a PDCCH transmission that is addressedto the C-RNTI. The wireless device may determine that contentionresolution is successful, and/or that a random access procedure issuccessfully completed, for example, after or in response to detecting aC-RNTI on a PDCCH. If a wireless device has no valid C-RNTI, acontention resolution may be addressed by using a TC-RNTI. If a MAC PDUis successfully decoded and a MAC PDU comprises a wireless devicecontention resolution identity MAC CE that matches or otherwisecorresponds with the CCCH SDU sent (e.g., transmitted) in Msg3 1250, thewireless device may determine that the contention resolution (e.g.,comprising contention resolution 1250) is successful and/or the wirelessdevice may determine that the random access procedure is successfullycompleted.

FIG. 13 shows an example structure for MAC entities. A wireless devicemay be configured to operate in a multi-connectivity mode. A wirelessdevice in RRC_CONNECTED with multiple Rx/Tx may be configured to utilizeradio resources provided by multiple schedulers that may be located in aplurality of base stations. The plurality of base stations may beconnected via a non-ideal or ideal backhaul over the Xn interface. Abase station in a plurality of base stations may act as a master basestation or as a secondary base station. A wireless device may beconnected to and/or in communication with, for example, one master basestation and one or more secondary base stations. A wireless device maybe configured with multiple MAC entities, for example, one MAC entityfor a master base station, and one or more other MAC entities forsecondary base station(s). A configured set of serving cells for awireless device may comprise two subsets: an MCG comprising servingcells of a master base station, and one or more SCGs comprising servingcells of a secondary base station(s). FIG. 13 shows an example structurefor MAC entities in which a MCG and a SCG are configured for a wirelessdevice.

At least one cell in a SCG may have a configured UL CC. A cell of the atleast one cell may comprise a PSCell or a PCell of a SCG, or a PCell. APSCell may be configured with PUCCH resources. There may be at least oneSCG bearer, or one split bearer, for a SCG that is configured. After orupon detection of a physical layer problem or a random access problem ona PSCell, after or upon reaching a number of RLC retransmissionsassociated with the SCG, and/or after or upon detection of an accessproblem on a PSCell associated with (e.g., during) a SCG addition or aSCG change: an RRC connection re-establishment procedure may not betriggered, UL transmissions towards cells of a SCG may be stopped,and/or a master base station may be informed by a wireless device of aSCG failure type and DL data transfer over a master base station may bemaintained.

A MAC sublayer may provide services such as data transfer and radioresource allocation to upper layers (e.g., 1310 or 1320). A MAC sublayermay comprise a plurality of MAC entities (e.g., 1350 and 1360). A MACsublayer may provide data transfer services on logical channels. Toaccommodate different kinds of data transfer services, multiple types oflogical channels may be defined. A logical channel may support transferof a particular type of information. A logical channel type may bedefined by what type of information (e.g., control or data) istransferred. BCCH, PCCH, CCCH and/or DCCH may be control channels, andDTCH may be a traffic channel. A first MAC entity (e.g., 1310) mayprovide services on PCCH, BCCH, CCCH, DCCH, DTCH, and/or MAC controlelements. A second MAC entity (e.g., 1320) may provide services on BCCH,DCCH, DTCH, and/or MAC control elements.

A MAC sublayer may expect from a physical layer (e.g., 1330 or 1340)services such as data transfer services, signaling of HARQ feedback,and/or signaling of scheduling request or measurements (e.g., CQI). Indual connectivity, two MAC entities may be configured for a wirelessdevice: one for a MCG and one for a SCG. A MAC entity of a wirelessdevice may handle a plurality of transport channels. A first MAC entitymay handle first transport channels comprising a PCCH of a MCG, a firstBCH of the MCG, one or more first DL-SCHs of the MCG, one or more firstUL-SCHs of the MCG, and/or one or more first RACHs of the MCG. A secondMAC entity may handle second transport channels comprising a second BCHof a SCG, one or more second DL-SCHs of the SCG, one or more secondUL-SCHs of the SCG, and/or one or more second RACHs of the SCG.

If a MAC entity is configured with one or more SCells, there may bemultiple DL-SCHs, multiple UL-SCHs, and/or multiple RACHs per MACentity. There may be one DL-SCH and/or one UL-SCH on an SpCell. Theremay be one DL-SCH, zero or one UL-SCH, and/or zero or one RACH for anSCell. A DL-SCH may support receptions using different numerologiesand/or TTI duration within a MAC entity. An UL-SCH may supporttransmissions using different numerologies and/or TTI duration withinthe MAC entity.

A MAC sublayer may support different functions. The MAC sublayer maycontrol these functions with a control (e.g., Control 1355 and/orControl 1365) element. Functions performed by a MAC entity may compriseone or more of: mapping between logical channels and transport channels(e.g., in uplink or downlink), multiplexing (e.g., (De-) Multiplexing1352 and/or (De-) Multiplexing 1362) of MAC SDUs from one or differentlogical channels onto transport blocks (TBs) to be delivered to thephysical layer on transport channels (e.g., in uplink), demultiplexing(e.g., (De-) Multiplexing 1352 and/or (De-) Multiplexing 1362) of MACSDUs to one or different logical channels from transport blocks (TBs)delivered from the physical layer on transport channels (e.g., indownlink), scheduling information reporting (e.g., in uplink), errorcorrection through HARQ in uplink and/or downlink (e.g., 1363), andlogical channel prioritization in uplink (e.g., Logical ChannelPrioritization 1351 and/or Logical Channel Prioritization 1361). A MACentity may handle a random access process (e.g., Random Access Control1354 and/or Random Access Control 1364).

FIG. 14 shows an example of a RAN architecture comprising one or morebase stations. A protocol stack (e.g., RRC, SDAP, PDCP, RLC, MAC, and/orPHY) may be supported at a node. A base station (e.g., gNB 120A and/or120B) may comprise a base station central unit (CU) (e.g., gNB-CU 1420Aor 1420B) and at least one base station distributed unit (DU) (e.g.,gNB-DU 1430A, 1430B, 1430C, and/or 1430D), for example, if a functionalsplit is configured. Upper protocol layers of a base station may belocated in a base station CU, and lower layers of the base station maybe located in the base station DUs. An F1 interface (e.g., CU-DUinterface) connecting a base station CU and base station DUs may be anideal or non-ideal backhaul. F1-C may provide a control plane connectionover an F1 interface, and F1-U may provide a user plane connection overthe F1 interface. An Xn interface may be configured between base stationCUs.

A base station CU may comprise an RRC function, an SDAP layer, and/or aPDCP layer. Base station DUs may comprise an RLC layer, a MAC layer,and/or a PHY layer. Various functional split options between a basestation CU and base station DUs may be possible, for example, bylocating different combinations of upper protocol layers (e.g., RANfunctions) in a base station CU and different combinations of lowerprotocol layers (e.g., RAN functions) in base station DUs. A functionalsplit may support flexibility to move protocol layers between a basestation CU and base station DUs, for example, depending on servicerequirements and/or network environments.

Functional split options may be configured per base station, per basestation CU, per base station DU, per wireless device, per bearer, perslice, and/or with other granularities. In a per base station CU split,a base station CU may have a fixed split option, and base station DUsmay be configured to match a split option of a base station CU. In a perbase station DU split, a base station DU may be configured with adifferent split option, and a base station CU may provide differentsplit options for different base station DUs. In a per wireless devicesplit, a base station (e.g., a base station CU and at least one basestation DUs) may provide different split options for different wirelessdevices. In a per bearer split, different split options may be utilizedfor different bearers. In a per slice splice, different split optionsmay be used for different slices.

FIG. 15 shows example RRC state transitions of a wireless device. Awireless device may be in at least one RRC state among an RRC connectedstate (e.g., RRC Connected 1530, RRC_Connected, etc.), an RRC idle state(e.g., RRC Idle 1510, RRC_Idle, etc.), and/or an RRC inactive state(e.g., RRC Inactive 1520, RRC_Inactive, etc.). In an RRC connectedstate, a wireless device may have at least one RRC connection with atleast one base station (e.g., gNB and/or eNB), which may have a contextof the wireless device (e.g., UE context). A wireless device context(e.g., UE context) may comprise at least one of an access stratumcontext, one or more radio link configuration parameters, bearer (e.g.,data radio bearer (DRB), signaling radio bearer (SRB), logical channel,QoS flow, PDU session, and/or the like) configuration information,security information, PHY/MAC/RLC/PDCP/SDAP layer configurationinformation, and/or the like configuration information for a wirelessdevice. In an RRC idle state, a wireless device may not have an RRCconnection with a base station, and a context of the wireless device maynot be stored in a base station. In an RRC inactive state, a wirelessdevice may not have an RRC connection with a base station. A context ofa wireless device may be stored in a base station, which may comprise ananchor base station (e.g., a last serving base station).

A wireless device may transition an RRC state (e.g., UE RRC state)between an RRC idle state and an RRC connected state in both ways (e.g.,connection release 1540 or connection establishment 1550; and/orconnection reestablishment) and/or between an RRC inactive state and anRRC connected state in both ways (e.g., connection inactivation 1570 orconnection resume 1580). A wireless device may transition its RRC statefrom an RRC inactive state to an RRC idle state (e.g., connectionrelease 1560).

An anchor base station may be a base station that may keep a context ofa wireless device (e.g., UE context) at least at (e.g., during) a timeperiod that the wireless device stays in a RAN notification area (RNA)of an anchor base station, and/or at (e.g., during) a time period thatthe wireless device stays in an RRC inactive state. An anchor basestation may comprise a base station that a wireless device in an RRCinactive state was most recently connected to in a latest RRC connectedstate, and/or a base station in which a wireless device most recentlyperformed an RNA update procedure. An RNA may comprise one or more cellsoperated by one or more base stations. A base station may belong to oneor more RNAs. A cell may belong to one or more RNAs.

A wireless device may transition, in a base station, an RRC state (e.g.,UE RRC state) from an RRC connected state to an RRC inactive state. Thewireless device may receive RNA information from the base station. RNAinformation may comprise at least one of an RNA identifier, one or morecell identifiers of one or more cells of an RNA, a base stationidentifier, an IP address of the base station, an AS context identifierof the wireless device, a resume identifier, and/or the like.

An anchor base station may broadcast a message (e.g., RAN pagingmessage) to base stations of an RNA to reach to a wireless device in anRRC inactive state. The base stations receiving the message from theanchor base station may broadcast and/or multicast another message(e.g., paging message) to wireless devices in their coverage area, cellcoverage area, and/or beam coverage area associated with the RNA via anair interface.

A wireless device may perform an RNA update (RNAU) procedure, forexample, if the wireless device is in an RRC inactive state and movesinto a new RNA. The RNAU procedure may comprise a random accessprocedure by the wireless device and/or a context retrieve procedure(e.g., UE context retrieve). A context retrieve procedure may comprise:receiving, by a base station from a wireless device, a random accesspreamble; and requesting and/or receiving (e.g., fetching), by a basestation, a context of the wireless device (e.g., UE context) from an oldanchor base station. The requesting and/or receiving (e.g., fetching)may comprise: sending a retrieve context request message (e.g., UEcontext request message) comprising a resume identifier to the oldanchor base station and receiving a retrieve context response messagecomprising the context of the wireless device from the old anchor basestation.

A wireless device in an RRC inactive state may select a cell to camp onbased on at least a measurement result for one or more cells, a cell inwhich a wireless device may monitor an RNA paging message, and/or a corenetwork paging message from a base station. A wireless device in an RRCinactive state may select a cell to perform a random access procedure toresume an RRC connection and/or to send (e.g., transmit) one or morepackets to a base station (e.g., to a network). The wireless device mayinitiate a random access procedure to perform an RNA update procedure,for example, if a cell selected belongs to a different RNA from an RNAfor the wireless device in an RRC inactive state. The wireless devicemay initiate a random access procedure to send (e.g., transmit) one ormore packets to a base station of a cell that the wireless deviceselects, for example, if the wireless device is in an RRC inactive stateand has one or more packets (e.g., in a buffer) to send (e.g., transmit)to a network. A random access procedure may be performed with twomessages (e.g., 2-stage or 2-step random access) and/or four messages(e.g., 4-stage or 4-step random access) between the wireless device andthe base station.

A base station receiving one or more uplink packets from a wirelessdevice in an RRC inactive state may request and/or receive (e.g., fetch)a context of a wireless device (e.g., UE context), for example, bysending (e.g., transmitting) a retrieve context request message for thewireless device to an anchor base station of the wireless device basedon at least one of an AS context identifier, an RNA identifier, a basestation identifier, a resume identifier, and/or a cell identifierreceived from the wireless device. A base station may send (e.g.,transmit) a path switch request for a wireless device to a core networkentity (e.g., AMF, MME, and/or the like), for example, after or inresponse to requesting and/or receiving (e.g., fetching) a context. Acore network entity may update a downlink tunnel endpoint identifier forone or more bearers established for the wireless device between a userplane core network entity (e.g., UPF, S-GW, and/or the like) and a RANnode (e.g., the base station), such as by changing a downlink tunnelendpoint identifier from an address of the anchor base station to anaddress of the base station).

A base station may communicate with a wireless device via a wirelessnetwork using one or more technologies, such as new radio technologies(e.g., NR, 5G, etc.). The one or more radio technologies may comprise atleast one of: multiple technologies related to physical layer; multipletechnologies related to medium access control layer; and/or multipletechnologies related to radio resource control layer Enhancing the oneor more radio technologies may improve performance of a wirelessnetwork. System throughput, and/or data rate of transmission, may beincreased.

Different types of control information may correspond to different DCImessage sizes. Supporting multiple beams, spatial multiplexing in thespatial domain, and/or noncontiguous allocation of RBs in the frequencydomain, may require a larger scheduling message, in comparison with anuplink grant allowing for frequency-contiguous allocation. DCI may becategorized into different DCI formats. A DCI format may correspond to acertain message size and/or usage.

A wireless device may monitor (e.g., in common search space or wirelessdevice-specific search space) one or more PDCCH for detecting one ormore DCI with one or more DCI format.

The wireless device may check the CRC bits of the DCI, forexample, if detecting the DCI. The wireless device may receive the DCI,for example, if the CRC is scrambled by a sequence of bits that is thesame as the at least one wireless device identifier.

A base station may send (e.g., transmit) one or more PDCCH in differentCORESETs, for example, to support a wide bandwidth operation.

Bit strings may berepresented by tables in which the most significant bit is the leftmostbit of the first line of the table, and the least significant bit is therightmost bit on the last line of the table. The bit string may be readfrom the left to right, and then, in the reading order of the lines. Thebit order of a parameter field within a MAC PDU may be represented withthe first and most significant bit in the leftmost bit, and/or with thelast and least significant bit in the rightmost bit.

A MAC SDU may comprise a bit string that may be byte aligned (e.g.,multiple of eight bits) in length. A MAC SDU may be included in a MACPDU, for example, from the first bit onward. A MAC CE may be a bitstring that may be byte aligned (e.g., multiple of eight bits) inlength. A MAC subheader may be a bit string that may be byte aligned(e.g., multiple of eight bits) in length. A MAC subheader may be placedimmediately in front of the corresponding MAC SDU, MAC CE, and/orpadding. A MAC entity may ignore a value of reserved bits in a DL MACPDU.

Two or more component carriers (CCs) may be aggregated, for example, ina carrier aggregation (CA). A wireless device may simultaneously receiveand/or transmit on one or more CCs, for example, depending oncapabilities of the wireless device. The CA may be supported forcontiguous CCs. The CA may be supported for non-contiguous CCs.

A wireless device may have at least one RRC connection with a network,for example, if configured with CA. At (e.g., during) an RRC connectionestablishment, re-establishment and/or handover, a cell providing a NASmobility information may be a serving cell. At (e.g., during) an RRCconnection re-establishment and/or handover procedure, a cell providinga security input may be a serving cell. The serving cell may be referredto as a primary cell (e.g., PCell). A base station may send (e.g.,transmit), to a wireless device, one or more messages comprisingconfiguration parameters of a plurality of one or more secondary cells(e.g., SCells), for example, depending on capabilities of the wirelessdevice.

A base station and/or a wireless device may use an activation and/ordeactivation mechanism of an SCell for an efficient battery consumption,for example, if the base station and/or the wireless device isconfigured with CA. A base station may activate or deactivate at leastone of the one or more SCells, for example, if the wireless device isconfigured with one or more SCells. The SCell may be deactivated, forexample, after or upon configuration of an SCell.

A wireless device may activate and/or deactivate an SCell, for example,after or in response to receiving an SCell activation and/ordeactivation MAC CE. A base station may send (e.g., transmit), to awireless device, one or more messages comprising ansCellDeactivationTimer timer. The wireless device may deactivate anSCell, for example, after or in response to an expiry of thesCellDeactivationTimer timer.

A wireless device may activate an SCell, for example, if the wirelessdevice receives an SCell activation/deactivation MAC CE activating anSCell. The wireless device may perform operations (e.g., after or inresponse to the activating the SCell) that may comprise: SRStransmissions on the SCell; CQI, PMI, RI, and/or CRI reporting for theSCell on a PCell; PDCCH monitoring on the SCell; PDCCH monitoring forthe SCell on the PCell; and/or PUCCH transmissions on the SCell.

The wireless device may start and/or restart a timer (e.g., ansCellDeactivationTimer timer) associated with the SCell, for example,after or in response to activating the SCell. The wireless device maystart the timer (e.g., sCellDeactivationTimer timer) in the slot, forexample, if the SCell activation/deactivation MAC CE has been received.The wireless device may initialize and/or re-initialize one or moresuspended configured uplink grants of a configured grant Type 1associated with the SCell according to a stored configuration, forexample, after or in response to activating the SCell. The wirelessdevice may trigger a PHR, for example, after or in response toactivating the SCell.

The wireless device may deactivate the activated SCell, for example, ifthe wireless device receives an SCell activation/deactivation MAC CEdeactivating an activated SCell. The wireless device may deactivate theactivated SCell, for example, if a timer (e.g., ansCellDeactivationTimer timer) associated with an activated SCellexpires. The wireless device may stop the timer (e.g.,sCellDeactivationTimer timer) associated with the activated SCell, forexample, after or in response to deactivating the activated SCell. Thewireless device may clear one or more configured downlink assignmentsand/or one or more configured uplink grant Type 2 associated with theactivated SCell, for example, after or in response to the deactivatingthe activated SCell. The wireless device may suspend one or moreconfigured uplink grant Type 1 associated with the activated SCell, forexample, after or in response to deactivating the activated SCell. Thewireless device may flush HARQ buffers associated with the activatedSCell.

A wireless device may not perform certain operations, for example, if anSCell is deactivated. The wireless device may not perform one or more ofthe following operations if an SCell is deactivated: transmitting SRS onthe SCell; reporting CQI, PMI, RI, and/or CRI for the SCell on a PCell;transmitting on UL-SCH on the SCell; transmitting on a RACH on theSCell; monitoring at least one first PDCCH on the SCell; monitoring atleast one second PDCCH for the SCell on the PCell; and/or transmitting aPUCCH on the SCell.

A wireless device may restart a timer (e.g., an sCellDeactivationTimertimer) associated with the activated SCell, for example, if at least onefirst PDCCH on an activated SCell indicates an uplink grant or adownlink assignment. A wireless device may restart a timer (e.g., ansCellDeactivationTimer timer) associated with the activated SCell, forexample, if at least one second PDCCH on a serving cell (e.g. a PCell oran SCell configured with PUCCH, such as a PUCCH SCell) scheduling theactivated SCell indicates an uplink grant and/or a downlink assignmentfor the activated SCell. A wireless device may abort the ongoing randomaccess procedure on the SCell, for example, if an SCell is deactivatedand/or if there is an ongoing random access procedure on the SCell.

An SCell activation/deactivation MAC CE may comprise, for example, oneoctet. A first MAC PDU subheader comprising a first LCID may identifythe SCell activation/deactivation MAC CE of one octet. An SCellactivation/deactivation MAC CE of one octet may have a fixed size. TheSCell activation/deactivation MAC CE of one octet may comprise a singleoctet. The single octet may comprise a first number of C-fields (e.g.,seven) and a second number of R-fields (e.g., one).

An SCell Activation/Deactivation MAC CE may comprise, for example, fouroctets. A second MAC PDU subheader with a second LCID may identify theSCell Activation/Deactivation MAC CE of four octets. An SCellactivation/deactivation MAC CE of four octets may have a fixed size. TheSCell activation/deactivation MAC CE of four octets may comprise fouroctets. The four octets may comprise a third number of C-fields (e.g.,31) and a fourth number of R-fields (e.g., 1). A C_(i) field mayindicate an activation/deactivation status of an SCell with an SCellindex i, for example, if an SCell with SCell indiex i is configured. AnSCell with an SCell index i may be activated, for example, if the C_(i)field is set to one. An SCell with an SCell index i may be deactivated,for example, In an example, if the C_(i) field is set to zero. Thewireless device may ignore the C_(i) field, for example, if there is noSCell configured with SCell index i. An R field may indicate a reservedbit. The R field may be set to zero.

A base station may configure a wireless device with uplink (UL)bandwidth parts (BWPs) and downlink (DL) BWPs, for example, to enablebandwidth adaptation (BA) for a PCell. The base station may configurethe wireless device with at least DL BWP(s) (e.g., an SCell may not haveUL BWPS) to enable BA for an SCell, for example, if CA is configured.For the PCell, a first initial BWP may be a first BWP used for initialaccess. For the SCell, a second initial BWP may be a second BWPconfigured for the wireless device to first operate on the SCell if theSCell is activated.

A first DL and a first UL may switch BWP independently, for example, inpaired spectrum (e.g., FDD). A second DL and a second UL may switch BWPsimultaneously, for example, in unpaired spectrum (e.g., TDD). Switchingbetween configured BWPs may be based on DCI and/or an inactivity timer.An expiry of the inactivity timer associated with a cell may switch anactive BWP to a default BWP, for example, if the inactivity timer isconfigured for a serving cell. The default BWP may be configured by thenetwork.

One UL BWP for each uplink carrier and one DL BWP may be active at atime in an active serving cell, for example, in FDD systems configuredwith BA. One DL/UL BWP pair may be active at a time in an active servingcell, for example, in TDD systems. Operating on the one UL BWP and theone DL BWP (and/or the one DL/UL pair) may enable a wireless device touse a reasonable amount of power (e.g., reasonable battery consumption).BWPs other than the one UL BWP and the one DL BWP that the wirelessdevice may be configured with may be deactivated. The wireless devicemay refrain from monitoring a PDCCH, and/or may refrain fromtransmitting via a PUCCH, PRACH and/or UL-SCH, for example, ondeactivated BWPs.

A serving cell may be configured with a first number (e.g., four) ofBWPs. A wireless device and/or a base station may have one active BWP atany point in time, for example, for an activated serving cell. A BWPswitching for a serving cell may be used to activate an inactive BWPand/or deactivate an active BWP. The BWP switching may be controlled bya PDCCH indicating a downlink assignment or an uplink grant. The BWPswitching may be controlled by an inactivity timer (e.g.,bandwidthpartInactivityTimer). The BWP switching may be controlled by aMAC entity, for example, based on initiating a random access procedure.A BWP may be initially active without receiving a PDCCH indicating adownlink assignment or an uplink grant, for example, based on anaddition of an SpCell or an activation of an SCell. The active BWP for aserving cell may be indicated by an RRC message and/or a PDCCH message(e.g., PDCCH order). A DL BWP may be paired with an UL BWP, and/or BWPswitching may be common for both UL and DL, for example, for unpairedspectrum.

A MAC entity may use operations on an active BWP for an activatedserving cell configured with a BWP, such as one or more of: transmittingvia an UL-SCH; transmitting via a RACH; monitoring a PDCCH; transmittingvia a PUCCH; receiving via a DL-SCH; initializing and/or reinitializingsuspended configured uplink grants of configured grant Type 1 accordingto a stored configuration, if any and/or to start in a symbol based on aprocedure. On an inactive BWP for each activated serving cell configuredwith a BWP, a MAC entity: may refrain from transmitting via an UL-SCH,may refrain from transmitting via a RACH, may refrain from monitoring aPDCCH, may refrain from transmitting via a PUCCH, may refrain fromtransmitting an SRS, may refrain from receiving via a DL-SCH, may clearany configured downlink assignment and configured uplink grant ofconfigured grant Type 2, and/or may suspend any configured uplink grantof configured Type 1.

A MAC entity may perform a random access procedure (e.g., based on aninitiation of the random access procedure) on an active DL BWP and theactive UL BWP, for example, if PRACH resources are configured for theactive UL BWP. A MAC entity may switch to an initial DL BWP and aninitial UL BWP, for example, if PRACH resources are not configured foran active UL BWP (e.g., based on initiation of a random accessprocedure). The MAC entity may perform the random access procedure onthe initial DL BWP and the initial UL BWP, for example, based on the BWPswitching.

A wireless device may perform BWP switching to a BWP indicated by aPDCCH, for example, if a MAC entity receives a PDCCH (e.g., a PDCCHorder) for a BWP switching of a serving cell, for example, if a randomaccess procedure associated with this serving cell is not ongoing. Awireless device may determine whether to switch a BWP or ignore thePDCCH for the BWP switching, for example, if a MAC entity received aPDCCH for a BWP switching while a random access procedure is ongoing inthe MAC entity. The MAC entity may stop the ongoing Random Accessprocedure and initiate a second Random Access procedure on a newactivated BWP, for example, if the MAC entity decides to perform the BWPswitching. The MAC entity may continue with the ongoing Random Accessprocedure on the active BWP, for example if the MAC decides to ignorethe PDCCH for the BWP switching. A wireless device may perform the BWPswitching to a BWP indicated by the PDCCH, for example, if a MAC entityreceives a PDCCH for a BWP switching addressed to a C-RNTI for asuccessful completion of a Random Access procedure.

The MAC entity may start or restart the BWP-InactivityTimer associatedwith the active DL BWP for a variety of reasons. The MAC entity maystart or restart the BWP-InactivityTimer associated with the active DLBWP, for example, if one or more of the following occur: aBWP-InactivityTimer is configured for an activated serving sell, if aDefault-DL-BWP is configured and an active DL BWP is not a BWP indicatedby the Default-DL-BWP, if the Default-DL-BWP is not configured and theactive DL BWP is not the initial BWP; and/or if one or more of thefollowing occur: if a PDCCH addressed to C-RNTI or CS-RNTI indicatingdownlink assignment or uplink grant is received on the active BWP,and/or if there is not an ongoing random access procedure associatedwith the activated serving cell.

The MAC entity may start or restart the BWP-InactivityTimer associatedwith the active DL BWP, for example, if one or more of the followingoccur: if a BWP-InactivityTimer is configured for an activated servingcell, if a Default-DL-BWP is configured and an active DL BWP is not aBWP indicated by the Default-DL-BWP, and/or if the Default-DL-BWP is notconfigured and the active DL BWP is not the initial BWP; and/or if oneor more of the following occur: if a MAC-PDU is transmitted in aconfigured uplink grant or received in a configured downlink assignment,and/or if there is not an ongoing random access procedure associatedwith the activated serving cell.

The MAC entity may start or restart the BWP-InactivityTimer associatedwith the active DL BWP, for example, if one or more of the followingoccur: if a BWP-InactivityTimer is configured for an activated servingcell, if a Default-DL-BWP is configured and an active DL BWP is not aBWP indicated by the Default-DL-BWP, and/or if the Default-DL-BWP is notconfigured and the active DL BWP is not the initial BWP; and/or if oneor more of the following occur: if a PDCCH addressed to C-RNTI orCS-RNTI indicating downlink assignment or uplink grant is received onthe active BWP, if a MAC-PDU is transmitted in a configured uplink grantor received in a configured downlink assignment, and/or if an ongoingrandom access procedure associated with the activated Serving Cell issuccessfully completed in response to receiving the PDCCH addressed to aC-RNTI.

The MAC entity may start or restart the BWP-InactivityTimer associatedwith the active DL BWP based on switching the active BWP. For example,the MAC entity may start or restart the BWP-InactivityTimer associatedwith the active DL BWP if a PDCCH for BWP switching is received and thewireless device switches an active DL BWP to the DL BWP, and/or if oneor more of the following occur: if a default downlink BWP is configuredand the DL BWP is not the default downlink BWP, and/or if a defaultdownlink BWP is not configured and the DL BWP is not the initialdownlink BWP.

The MAC entity may stop the BWP-InactivityTimer associated with anactive DL BWP of the activated serving cell, for example, if one or moreof the following occur: if BWP-InactivityTimer is configured for anactivated serving cell, if the Default-DL-BWP is configured and theactive DL BWP is not the BWP indicated by the Default-DL-BWP, and/or ifthe Default-DL-BWP is not configured and the active DL BWP is not theinitial BWP; and/or if a random access procedure is initiated. The MACentity may stop a second BWP-InactivityTimer associated with a secondactive DL BWP of an SpCell, for example, if the activated Serving Cellis an SCell (other than a PSCell).

The MAC entity may perform BWP switching to a BWP indicated by theDefault-DL-BWP, for example, if one or more of the following occur: if aBWP-InactivityTimer is configured for an activated serving cell, if theDefault-DL-BWP is configured and the active DL BWP is not the BWPindicated by the Default-DL-BWP, if the Default-DL-BWP is not configuredand the active DL BWP is not the initial BWP, if BWP-InactivityTimerassociated with the active DL BWP expires, and/or if the Default-DL-BWPis configured. The MAC entity may perform BWP switching to the initialDL BWP, for example, if the MAC entity may refrain from performing BWPswitching to a BWP indicated by the Default-DL-BWP.

A wireless device may be configured for operation in BWPs of a servingcell. The wireless device may be configured by higher layers for theserving cell for a set of (e.g., four) bandwidth parts (BWPs) forreceptions by the wireless device (e.g., DL BWP set) in a DL bandwidthby a parameter (e.g., DL-BWP). The wireless device may be configuredwith a set of (e.g., four) BWPs for transmissions by the wireless device(e.g., UL BWP set) in an UL bandwidth by a parameter (e.g., UL-BWP) forthe serving cell. An initial active DL BWP may be determined, forexample, by: a location and number of contiguous PRBs; a subcarrierspacing; and/or a cyclic prefix (e.g., for the control resource set fora Type0-PDCCH common search space). A wireless device may be provided(e.g., by a higher layer) a parameter (e.g., initial-UL-BWP) for aninitial active UL BWP for a random access procedure, for example, foroperation on a primary cell. The wireless device may be provided (e.g.,by a higher layer) a parameter (e.g., Active-BWP-DL-Pcell) for firstactive DL BWP for receptions, for example, if a wireless device has adedicated BWP configuration. The wireless device may be provided (e.g.,by a higher layer) a parameter (e.g., Active-BWP-UL-Pcell) for a firstactive UL BWP for transmissions on a primary cell, for example, if awireless device has a dedicated BWP configuration.

The wireless device may be configured with a variety of parameters for aDL BWP and/or for an UL BWP in a set of DL BWPs and/or UL BWPs,respectively, for a serving cell. The wireless device may be configuredwith one or more of: a subcarrier spacing (e.g., provided by higherlayer parameter DL-BWP-mu or UL-BWP-mu), a cyclic prefix (e.g., providedby higher layer parameter DL-BWP-CP or UL-BWP-CP), a PRB offset withrespect to the PRB (e.g., determined by higher layer parametersoffset-pointA-low-scs and ref-scs) and a number of contiguous PRBs(e.g., provided by higher layer parameter DL-BWP-BW or UL-BWP-BW), anindex in the set of DL BWPs or UL BWPs (e.g., by respective higher layerparameters DL-BWP-index or UL-BWP-index), a DCI format 1_0 or DCI format1_1 detection to a PDSCH reception timing values (e.g., provided byhigher layer parameter DL-data-time-domain), a PDSCH reception to aHARQ-ACK transmission timing values (e.g., provided by higher layerparameter DL-data-DL-acknowledgement), and/or a DCI 0_0 or DCI 0_1detection to a PUSCH transmission timing values (e.g., provided byhigher layer parameter UL-data-time-domain).

A DL BWP from a set of configured DL BWPs (e.g., with an index providedby higher layer parameter DL-BWP-index) may be paired with an UL BWPfrom a set of configured UL BWPs (e.g., with an index provided by higherlayer parameter UL-BWP-index). A DL BWP from a set of configured DL BWPsmay be paired with an UL BWP from a set of configured UL BWPs, forexample, if the DL BWP index and the UL BWP index are equal (e.g., forunpaired spectrum operation). A wireless device may not be expected toreceive a configuration where the center frequency for a DL BWP isdifferent from the center frequency for an UL BWP, for example, if theDL-BWP-index of the DL BWP is equal to the UL-BWP-index of the UL BWP(e.g., for unpaired spectrum operation).

A wireless device may be configured with control resource sets (e.g.,coresets) for every type of common search space and/or for wirelessdevice-specific search space, for example, for a DL BWP in a set of DLBWPs on a primary cell. The wireless device may not be expected to beconfigured without a common search space on the PCell, or on the PSCell,in the active DL BWP. The wireless device may be configured with controlresource sets for PUCCH transmissions, for example, for an UL BWP in aset of UL BWPs. A wireless device may receive a PDCCH message and/or aPDSCH message in a DL BWP, for example, according to a configuredsubcarrier spacing and/or a CP length for the DL BWP. A wireless devicemay transmit via a PUCCH and/or via a PUSCH in an UL BWP, for example,according to a configured subcarrier spacing and CP length for the ULBWP.

The BWP indicator field value may indicate an active DL BWP, from theconfigured DL BWP set, for DL receptions, for example, if a BWPindicator field is configured in DCI format 1_1. The BWP indicator fieldvalue may indicate the active UL BWP, from the configured UL BWP set,for UL transmissions. A wireless device may be provided (e.g., for theprimary cell) with a higher layer parameter (e.g., Default-DL-BWP, orany other a default DL BWP among the configured DL BWPs), for example,if a BWP indicator field is configured in DCI format 0_1. The defaultBWP may be the initial active DL BWP, for example, if a wireless deviceis not provided a default DL BWP by higher layer parameterDefault-DL-BWP. A wireless device may be expected to detect a DCI format0_1 indicating active UL BWP change, or a DCI format 1_1 indicatingactive DL BWP change, for example, if a corresponding PDCCH is receivedwithin first 3 symbols of a slot.

A wireless device may be provided (e.g., for a primary cell) with ahigher layer parameter (e.g., Default-DL-BWP, or any other a default DLBWP among the configured DL BWPs). The default DL BWP may be the initialactive DL BWP, for example, if a wireless device is not provided adefault DL BWP by the higher layer parameter Default-DL-BWP. A wirelessdevice may be provided with a higher layer parameter (e.g.,BWP-InactivityTimer) for a timer value for the primary cell. Thewireless device may increment the timer, if running, every interval of 1millisecond for frequency range 1, every 0.5 milliseconds for frequencyrange 2, or any other interval, for example, if the wireless device maynot detect a DCI format 1_1 for paired spectrum operation or, forexample, if the wireless device may not detect a DCI format 1_1 or DCIformat 0_1 for unpaired spectrum operation during the interval.

Wireless device procedures on the secondary cell may be same as on theprimary cell. Wireless device procedures may use the timer value for thesecondary cell and the default DL BWP for the secondary cell, forexample, if a wireless device is configured for a secondary cell with ahigher layer parameter (e.g., Default-DL-BWP) indicating a default DLBWP among the configured DL BWPs and the wireless device is configuredwith a higher layer parameter (e.g., BWP-InactivityTimer) indicating atimer value. The wireless device may use the indicated DL BWP and theindicated UL BWP on the secondary cell as the respective first active DLBWP and first active UL BWP on the secondary cell or carrier, forexample, if a wireless device is configured by a higher layer parameter(e.g., Active-BWP-DL-SCell) for a first active DL BWP and by a higherlayer parameter (e.g., Active-BWP-UL-SCell) for a first active UL BWP ona secondary cell or carrier.

FIG. 16 shows an example of BWP switching. The BWP switching may be on aPCell. A base station 1602 may send (e.g., transmit) one or moremessages (e.g., one or more RRC messages) 1612 for configuring multipleBWPs (e.g., multiple BWPs comprising a DL BWP 0, a DL BWP 1, a DL BWP 2,a DL BWP 3, an UL BWP 0, an UL BWP 1, an UL BWP 2, and an UL BWP 3 shownin a table 1608). The DL (and/or UL) BWP 0 may be a default BWP. The DL(and/or UL) BWP 1 may be an initial active BWP (e.g., an initial DL BWPor an initial UL BWP). A wireless device 1604 may determine the multipleBWPs configured for the wireless device 1604, for example, based on theone or more messages 1612. The base station 1602 may send DCI 1614 for aDL assignment (e.g., at a time n). The DCI 1614 may be sent via the DLBWP 1 (e.g., an initial DL BWP). The wireless device 1604 may receive apacket via the DL BWP 1 or via another active DL BWP (e.g., at a timen+k), for example, based on the DL assignment. The wireless device 1604may start a BWP inactivity timer (e.g., at the time n+k). The wirelessdevice 1604 may start the BWP inactivity timer, for example, afterreceiving scheduled downlink packets. The base station 1602 may send DCI1614 for an UL grant (e.g., at the time n). The DCI 1614 may be sent viathe DL BWP 1 (e.g., a first DL BWP or an initial DL BWP). The wirelessdevice 1604 may send a packet via an UL BWP 1 (e.g., via a first UL BWPor an initial UL BWP at a time n+k), for example, based on the UL grant.The wireless device 1604 may start a BWP inactivity timer (e.g., at thetime n+k). The wireless device 1604 may start the BWP inactivity timer,for example, after sending scheduled uplink packets.

The base station 1602 may send DCI 1616 for BWP switching (e.g., a BWPswitching from the DL BWP 1 to the DL BWP 2). The DCI 1616 may be sentvia the active DL BWP 1 (e.g., at a time m). The wireless device 1604may receive the DCI 1616, for example, by monitoring a PDCCH on theactive DL BWP 1. The wireless device 1604 may switch the DL BWP 1 to theDL BWP 2 (e.g., at a time m+l), for example, based on the DCI 1616.There may be a delay (e.g., a gap) between the wireless device 1604receiving the DCI 1616 and the wireless device 1604 switching to the DLBWP 2. The wireless device 1604 may start and/or re-start the BWPinactivity timer (e.g., at the time m+l), for example, after the BWPswitching. The BWP inactivity timer may expire (e.g., at a time o), forexample, if the wireless device 1604 does not perform reception ortransmission for a period of time (e.g., a period from the time m+l tothe time o). The wireless device 1604 may switch the DL BWP 2 to the DLBWP 0 (e.g., a default BWP). The fallback to the DL BWP 0 may occur(e.g., at a time o+q), for example, after the BWP inactivity timerexpires. There may be a delay (e.g., a gap) between the BWP inactivitytimer expiration (e.g., at a time o) and the wireless device 1604switching to the DL BWP 0 (e.g., at a time o+q). BWPs are described asexample resources, and any wireless resource may be applicable to one ormore procedures described herein.

FIG. 17 shows an example of BWP switching. The BWP switching may beperformed on an SCell. A base station 1702 may send (e.g., transmit) oneor more messages (e.g., one or more RRC messages) 1712 for configuringmultiple BWPs (e.g., multiple BWPs comprising a DL BWP 0, a DL BWP 1, aDL BWP 2, a DL BWP 3, an UL BWP 0, an UL BWP 1, an UL BWP 2, and an ULBWP 3 shown in tables 1706 and 1708, respectively). The multiple BWPsmay be BWPs of an SCell. The DL (and/or UL) BWP 0 may be a default BWP.The DL (and/or UL) BWP 1 may be a first (or initial) active BWP (e.g., afirst DL BWP or a first UL BWP). A wireless device 1704 may determinethe multiple BWPs configured for the wireless device 1704, for example,based on the one or more messages 1712. The base station 1702 may send,to the wireless device 1704, a MAC CE 1714 for activating the SCell(e.g., at a time n). The wireless device 1704 may activate the SCell(e.g., at a time n+k). The wireless device 1704 may start to monitor aPDCCH on (e.g., sent via) the DL BWP 1. The base station 1702 may sendDCI 1716 for a DL assignment (e.g., at a time m). The DCI 1716 may besent via the DL BWP 1 (e.g., a first DL BWP). The wireless device 1704may receive a packet via the DL BWP 1 or via another active DL BWP(e.g., at a time m+l), for example, based on the DL assignment. Thewireless device 1704 may start a BWP inactivity timer (e.g., at the timem+l). The wireless device 1704 may start the BWP inactivity timer, forexample, after receiving scheduled downlink packets. The base station1702 may send DCI 1716 for an UL grant (e.g., at the time m). The DCI1716 may be sent via the DL BWP 1 (e.g., a first DL BWP or an initial DLBWP). The wireless device 1704 may send a packet via an UL BWP 1 (e.g.,via a first UL BWP or an initial UL BWP at a time m+l), for example,based on the UL grant. The wireless device 1704 may start a BWPinactivity timer (e.g., at the time m+l). The wireless device 1704 maystart the BWP inactivity timer, for example, after sending scheduleduplink packets.

The BWP inactivity timer may expire (e.g., at a time s). The BWPinactivity may expire, for example, if the wireless device 1704 does notperform reception or transmission for a period of time (e.g., a periodfrom the time m+l to the time s). The wireless device 1704 may switchthe DL BWP 1 to the DL BWP 0 (e.g., a default BWP). The fallback to theDL BWP 0 may occur (e.g., at a time s+t), for example, after the BWPinactivity timer expires. The base station 1702 may send, to thewireless device 1704, a MAC CE 1718 for deactivating the SCell (e.g., ata time o). The wireless device 1704 may deactivate the SCell and/or stopthe BWP inactivity timer (e.g., at a time o+p). The wireless device 1704may deactivate the SCell and/or stop the BWP inactivity timer, forexample, after receiving and/or checking an indication of the MAC CE1718.

A MAC entity may use operations on an active BWP for an activatedserving cell configured with a BWP, such as one or more of: transmittingvia an UL-SCH; transmitting via a RACH; monitoring a PDCCH; transmittingvia a PUCCH; receiving via a DL-SCH; initializing and/or reinitializingsuspended configured uplink grants of configured grant Type 1 accordingto a stored configuration, if any and/or to start in a symbol based on aprocedure. On an inactive BWP for each activated serving cell configuredwith a BWP, a MAC entity: may refrain from transmitting via an UL-SCH,may refrain from transmitting via a RACH, may refrain from monitoring aPDCCH, may refrain from transmitting via a PUCCH, may refrain fromtransmitting an SRS, may refrain from receiving via a DL-SCH, may clearany configured downlink assignment and configured uplink grant ofconfigured grant Type 2, and/or may suspend any configured uplink grantof configured Type 1.

A random access procedure (e.g., based on an initiation of the randomaccess procedure) on an active DL BWP and the active UL BWP may beperformed, for example, if PRACH resources are configured for the activeUL BWP. The random access procedure may be performed, for example, by aMAC entity. A MAC entity may switch to an initial DL BWP and an initialUL BWP, for example, if PRACH resources are not configured for an activeUL BWP (e.g., based on initiation of a random access procedure). The MACentity may perform the random access procedure on the initial DL BWP andthe initial UL BWP, for example, based on the BWP switching.

A wireless device may perform BWP switching to a BWP indicated by aPDCCH, for example, if a MAC entity receives a PDCCH (e.g., a PDCCHorder) for a BWP switching of a serving cell, for example, if a randomaccess procedure associated with this serving cell is not ongoing.

A wireless device may determine whether to switch a BWP or ignore thePDCCH for the BWP switching, for example, if a MAC entity received aPDCCH for a BWP switching while a random access procedure is ongoing inthe MAC entity. The MAC entity may stop the ongoing Random Accessprocedure and initiate a second Random Access procedure on a newactivated BWP, for example, if the MAC entity decides to perform the BWPswitching. The MAC entity may continue with the ongoing Random Accessprocedure on the active BWP, for example if the MAC decides to ignorethe PDCCH for the BWP switching. A wireless device may perform the BWPswitching to a BWP indicated by the PDCCH, for example, if a MAC entityreceives a PDCCH for a BWP switching addressed to a C-RNTI for asuccessful completion of a Random Access procedure.

The MAC entity may start or restart the BWP-InactivityTimer associatedwith the active DL BWP for a variety of reasons. The MAC entity maystart or restart the BWP-InactivityTimer associated with the active DLBWP, for example, if one or more of the following occur: aBWP-InactivityTimer is configured for an activated serving sell, if aDefault-DL-BWP is configured and an active DL BWP is not a BWP indicatedby the Default-DL-BWP, if the Default-DL-BWP is not configured and theactive DL BWP is not the initial BWP; and/or if one or more of thefollowing occur: if a PDCCH addressed to C-RNTI or CS-RNTI indicatingdownlink assignment or uplink grant is received on the active BWP,and/or if there is not an ongoing random access procedure associatedwith the activated serving cell.

The MAC entity may start or restart the BWP-InactivityTimer associatedwith the active DL BWP, for example, if one or more of the followingoccur: if a BWP-InactivityTimer is configured for an activated servingcell, if a Default-DL-BWP is configured and an active DL BWP is not aBWP indicated by the Default-DL-BWP, and/or if the Default-DL-BWP is notconfigured and the active DL BWP is not the initial BWP; and/or if oneor more of the following occur: if a MAC-PDU is transmitted in aconfigured uplink grant or received in a configured downlink assignment,and/or if there is not an ongoing random access procedure associatedwith the activated serving cell.

The MAC entity may start or restart the BWP-InactivityTimer associatedwith the active DL BWP, for example, if one or more of the followingoccur: if a BWP-InactivityTimer is configured for an activated servingcell, if a Default-DL-BWP is configured and an active DL BWP is not aBWP indicated by the Default-DL-BWP, and/or if the Default-DL-BWP is notconfigured and the active DL BWP is not the initial BWP; and/or if oneor more of the following occur: if a PDCCH addressed to C-RNTI orCS-RNTI indicating downlink assignment or uplink grant is received onthe active BWP, if a MAC-PDU is transmitted in a configured uplink grantor received in a configured downlink assignment, and/or if an ongoingrandom access procedure associated with the activated Serving Cell issuccessfully completed in response to receiving the PDCCH addressed to aC-RNTI.

The MAC entity may start or restart the BWP-InactivityTimer associatedwith the active DL BWP based on switching the active BWP. For example,the MAC entity may start or restart the BWP-InactivityTimer associatedwith the active DL BWP if a PDCCH for BWP switching is received and thewireless device switches an active DL BWP to the DL BWP, and/or if oneor more of the following occur: if a default downlink BWP is configuredand the DL BWP is not the default downlink BWP, and/or if a defaultdownlink BWP is not configured and the DL BWP is not the initialdownlink BWP.

The MAC entity may stop the BWP-InactivityTimer associated with anactive DL BWP of the activated serving cell, for example, if one or moreof the following occur: if BWP-InactivityTimer is configured for anactivated serving cell, if the Default-DL-BWP is configured and theactive DL BWP is not the BWP indicated by the Default-DL-BWP, and/or ifthe Default-DL-BWP is not configured and the active DL BWP is not theinitial BWP; and/or if a random access procedure is initiated. The MACentity may stop a second BWP-InactivityTimer associated with a secondactive DL BWP of an SpCell, for example, if the activated Serving Cellis an SCell (other than a PSCell).

The MAC entity may perform BWP switching to a BWP indicated by theDefault-DL-BWP, for example, if one or more of the following occur: if aBWP-InactivityTimer is configured for an activated serving cell, if theDefault-DL-BWP is configured and the active DL BWP is not the BWPindicated by the Default-DL-BWP, if the Default-DL-BWP is not configuredand the active DL BWP is not the initial BWP, if BWP-InactivityTimerassociated with the active DL BWP expires, and/or if the Default-DL-BWPis configured. The MAC entity may perform BWP switching to the initialDL BWP, for example, if the MAC entity may refrain from performing BWPswitching to a BWP indicated by the Default-DL-BWP.

A wireless device may be configured for operation in BWPs of a servingcell. The wireless device may be configured by higher layers for theserving cell for a set of (e.g., four) bandwidth parts (BWPs) forreceptions by the wireless device (e.g., DL BWP set) in a DL bandwidthby a parameter (e.g., DL-BWP). The wireless device may be configuredwith a set of (e.g., four) BWPs for transmissions by the wireless device(e.g., UL BWP set) in an UL bandwidth by a parameter (e.g., UL-BWP) forthe serving cell. An initial active DL BWP may be determined, forexample, by: a location and number of contiguous PRBs; a subcarrierspacing; and/or a cyclic prefix (e.g., for the control resource set fora Type0-PDCCH common search space). A wireless device may be provided(e.g., by a higher layer) a parameter (e.g., initial-UL-BWP) for aninitial active UL BWP for a random access procedure, for example, foroperation on a primary cell. The wireless device may be provided (e.g.,by a higher layer) a parameter (e.g., Active-BWP-DL-Pcell) for firstactive DL BWP for receptions, for example, if a wireless device has adedicated BWP configuration. The wireless device may be provided (e.g.,by a higher layer) a parameter (e.g., Active-BWP-UL-Pcell) for a firstactive UL BWP for transmissions on a primary cell, for example, if awireless device has a dedicated BWP configuration.

The wireless device may be configured with a variety of parameters for aDL BWP and/or for an UL BWP in a set of DL BWPs and/or UL BWPs,respectively, for a serving cell. The wireless device may be configuredwith one or more of: a subcarrier spacing (e.g., provided by higherlayer parameter DL-BWP-mu or UL-BWP-mu), a cyclic prefix (e.g., providedby higher layer parameter DL-BWP-CP or UL-BWP-CP), a PRB offset withrespect to the PRB (e.g., determined by higher layer parametersoffset-pointA-low-scs and ref-scs) and a number of contiguous PRBs(e.g., provided by higher layer parameter DL-BWP-BW or UL-BWP-BW), anindex in the set of DL BWPs or UL BWPs (e.g., by respective higher layerparameters DL-BWP-index or UL-BWP-index), a DCI format 1_0 or DCI format1_1 detection to a PDSCH reception timing values (e.g., provided byhigher layer parameter DL-data-time-domain), a PDSCH reception to aHARQ-ACK transmission timing values (e.g., provided by higher layerparameter DL-data-DL-acknowledgement), and/or a DCI 0_0 or DCI 0_1detection to a PUSCH transmission timing values (e.g., provided byhigher layer parameter UL-data-time-domain).

A DL BWP from a set of configured DL BWPs (e.g., with an index providedby higher layer parameter DL-BWP-index) may be paired with an UL BWPfrom a set of configured UL BWPs (e.g., with an index provided by higherlayer parameter UL-BWP-index). A DL BWP from a set of configured DL BWPsmay be paired with an UL BWP from a set of configured UL BWPs, forexample, if the DL BWP index and the UL BWP index are equal (e.g., forunpaired spectrum operation). A wireless device may not be expected toreceive a configuration where the center frequency for a DL BWP isdifferent from the center frequency for an UL BWP, for example, if theDL-BWP-index of the DL BWP is equal to the UL-BWP-index of the UL BWP(e.g., for unpaired spectrum operation).

A wireless device may be configured with control resource sets (e.g.,coresets) for every type of common search space and/or for wirelessdevice-specific search space, for example, for a DL BWP in a set of DLBWPs on a primary cell. The wireless device may not be expected to beconfigured without a common search space on the PCell, or on the PSCell,in the active DL BWP. The wireless device may be configured with controlresource sets for PUCCH transmissions, for example, for an UL BWP in aset of UL BWPs. A wireless device may receive a PDCCH message and/or aPDSCH message in a DL BWP, for example, according to a configuredsubcarrier spacing and/or a CP length for the DL BWP. A wireless devicemay transmit via a PUCCH and/or via a PUSCH in an UL BWP, for example,according to a configured subcarrier spacing and CP length for the ULBWP.

The BWP indicator field value may indicate an active DL BWP, from theconfigured DL BWP set, for DL receptions, for example, if a BWPindicator field is configured in DCI format 1_1. The BWP indicator fieldvalue may indicate the active UL BWP, from the configured UL BWP set,for UL transmissions. A wireless device may be provided (e.g., for theprimary cell) with a higher layer parameter (e.g., Default-DL-BWP, orany other a default DL BWP among the configured DL BWPs), for example,if a BWP indicator field is configured in DCI format 0_1. The defaultBWP may be the initial active DL BWP, for example, if a wireless deviceis not provided a default DL BWP by higher layer parameterDefault-DL-BWP. A wireless device may be expected to detect a DCI format0_1 indicating active UL BWP change, or a DCI format 1_1 indicatingactive DL BWP change, for example, if a corresponding PDCCH is receivedwithin first 3 symbols of a slot.

A wireless device may be provided (e.g., for a primary cell) with ahigher layer parameter (e.g., Default-DL-BWP, or any other a default DLBWP among the configured DL BWPs). The default DL BWP may be the initialactive DL BWP, for example, if a wireless device is not provided adefault DL BWP by the higher layer parameter Default-DL-BWP. A wirelessdevice may be provided with a higher layer parameter (e.g.,BWP-InactivityTimer) for a timer value for the primary cell. Thewireless device may increment the timer, if running, every interval of 1millisecond for frequency range 1, every 0.5 milliseconds for frequencyrange 2, or any other interval, for example, if the wireless device maynot detect a DCI format 1_1 for paired spectrum operation or, forexample, if the wireless device may not detect a DCI format 1_1 or DCIformat 0_1 for unpaired spectrum operation during the interval.

Wireless device procedures on the secondary cell may be same as on theprimary cell. Wireless device procedures may use the timer value for thesecondary cell and the default DL BWP for the secondary cell, forexample, if a wireless device is configured for a secondary cell with ahigher layer parameter (e.g., Default-DL-BWP) indicating a default DLBWP among the configured DL BWPs and the wireless device is configuredwith a higher layer parameter (e.g., BWP-InactivityTimer) indicating atimer value. The wireless device may use the indicated DL BWP and theindicated UL BWP on the secondary cell as the respective first active DLBWP and first active UL BWP on the secondary cell or carrier, forexample, if a wireless device is configured by a higher layer parameter(e.g., Active-BWP-DL-SCell) for a first active DL BWP and by a higherlayer parameter (e.g., Active-BWP-UL-SCell) for a first active UL BWP ona secondary cell or carrier.

A wireless device may have difficulty in determining whether DCI isindicating a BWP switching, a BWP activation, or a BWP deactivation, forexample, if multiple active BWPs in a cell (e.g., PCell or SCell) aresupported. A DCI format may be used (e.g., any legacy DCI format, a DCIformat of NR Release 15, or any other DCI format). The DCI format maycomprise a BWP index indicating a new BWP. Misalignment between a basestation and the wireless device may occur regarding a state of a BWP. Abase station may send (e.g., transmit) DCI comprising: a first fieldindicating a BWP, and/or a second field indicating a BWP action. The BWPaction may comprise one or more of: switching to the BWP, activating theBWP, and/or deactivating the BWP. A base station may send (e.g.,transmit) a MAC CE comprising an n-bit bitmap (e.g., an 8-bit bitmapassociated with 4 bits for DL BWPs and/or 4 bits for UL BWPs, or anyother quantity of bits) indicating that one or more BWPs may beactivated/deactivated (e.g., activated or deactivated). A base stationmay designate a first BWP of a cell as a primary active BWP. The basestation may send (e.g., transmit), via the primary active BWP, DCIactivating/deactivating (e.g., activating or deactivating) a secondaryBWP of the cell.

Multiple active BWPs may increase spectral efficiency, communicationspeed, interference mitigation, provide service-friendly BWP management,and/or other performance measures, for example, relative to aconfiguration supporting a single active BWP at a time (e.g., a singleDL BWP and a single UL BWP at a time). Multiple active BWPs may supporta plurality of active DL BWPs and/or a plurality of active UL BWPs.Configuring multiple active BWPS may require more complex BWP controlprotocols and technical designs, for example, relative to a singleactive BWP configuration. Some RRC signaling and/or DCI formats (e.g.,legacy signaling and/or format, and/or other signaling and/or formats)may cause one or more problems, such as the misalignment between a basestation and a wireless device regarding states of multiple BWPs.

One or more RRC signaling messages and/or one or more DCI formats may beenhanced. An RRC message may configure multiple active BWPs. An RRCmessage may configure one or more primary BWPs and one or more secondaryBWPs. An RRC message may configure whether the one or more primary BWPsare switchable by DCI and/or a MAC CE. An RRC message may configuredifferent BWPs for sending DCI for indicating a BWP change, for example,based on whether the one or more primary BWPs are switchable by DCIand/or a MAC CE. DCI may have a plurality of fields associated with aBWP control. A first field of DCI may indicate a BWP ID. A second fieldof the DCI may indicate an action associated with a BWP indicated by theBWP ID. The second field may have different sizes, for example,depending on different configurations and/or requirements. The size ofthe second field may be (e.g., semi-statically) changed (e.g., based onone or more RRC messages). The size of the second field may bedetermined, for example, based on whether a designated BWP is indicatedas a primary active BWP and/or whether the designated BWP is allowed tobe switched dynamically.

One or more MAC CEs may be configured for a plurality of BWP control,for example, if multiple active BWPs are supported. A MAC CE maycomprise a bitmap associated with a plurality of DL BWPs and/or aplurality of UL BWPs. The MAC CE may indicate activation/deactivation ofeach of multiple BWPs.

Some communications (e.g., communications based on one or more DCIs) mayenable dynamic BWP state changes without (or with reduced) processingdelays and may avoid or reduce misalignments between a base station anda wireless device. These communications may be applicable, for example,if services, channel quality, and/or traffic loading on BWPs changefrequently. Some other communications (e.g., communications based on oneor more MAC CEs) may provide more robust BWP state controls and/or mayreduce blind decoding complexity and/or power consumption of wirelessdevices. The latter communications may change states of a plurality ofBWPs at the same time and may reduce signaling overhead. The lattercommunications may be applicable, for example, if services, channelquality, and/or traffic loading on BWPs change infrequently. Differentcommunications may be used together or may be separately configuredbetween a base station and a wireless device, for example, depending onvarying requirements and signaling environments.

A base station may send (e.g., transmit) to, or receive from, a wirelessdevice one or more data packets. The one or more data packets may besent, or received, via one or more radio resources. The one or more datepackets may be one or more URLLC (Ultra-Reliable Low LatencyCommunication) data packets with a small packet size (e.g., <100 bytes),which may require ultra-reliable (e.g., BLER less than 10{circumflexover ( )}⁽⁻⁵⁾) and low latency delivery (e.g., less than 1 millisecond)between the base station and the wireless device. The one or more datapackets may be one or more eMBB (enhanced Mobile Broadband) data packetswith a large packet size (e.g., >1000 bytes), which may require a largebandwidth (e.g., 400 MHz˜1 GHz) and/or a large amount of radio resourcesfor transmission. The one or more date packets may be one or moremachine-type communication (e.g., MTC) data packets with a small packetsize, which require a wide communication coverage (e.g., 10 KM˜100 KM)or a transmission to a wireless device located in a basement. Othertypes of the one or more data packets may comprise vehicle to everything(V2X) packet(s) which may be transmitted between vehicles, or betweenvehicle and pedestrian, or between vehicle and roadside node, packet ofindustrial internet of things (HOT), and the like. It may be beneficialto transmit a first type of service (eMBB, URLLC, MTC, V2X and/or HOT)on a first active BWP of a cell and transmit a second type of service(eMBB, URLLC, V2X and/or HOT) on a second active BWP of the cell, forexample, if multiple services are launched in a cell. BWP and/or CAoperation configurations may support at most one active BWP in a cell.The BWP and/or CA operation configurations may be less efficient and/orresult in significant transmission latency, for example, if a basestation attempts to send (e.g., transmit), to a wireless device, datapackets for multiple services on multiple active BWPs.Activation/deactivation of an SCell based on a MAC CE (e.g., for addingan additional active BWP) may take a long time (e.g., several tens ofmilliseconds) and a significant delay may occur, for example, if thebase station attempts to send the data packets by frequently activatingand/or deactivating the multiple BWPs. Data transmission associated withsome types of service on an additional active BWP of the SCell may notbe tolerant of a delay caused by the activation/deactivation. Thetransmission latency may be improved, for example, by supportingmultiple active BWPs in a cell.

A base station and/or a wireless device may be configured with multipleBWPs for a cell. A base station and a wireless device may communicatewith each other via multiple active BWPs of the multiple BWPs inparallel (e.g., simultaneously or overlapped in time) to accommodatemultiple services (e.g., eMBB, URLLC, VTX, HOT, and/or MTC). A basestation may send (e.g., transmit), via a first active BWP, an eMBB datapacket to a wireless device. The base station may send (e.g., transmit),via a second active BWP, a URLLC data packet to the wireless device. Thebase station may send (e.g., transmit), via a third active BWP, an MTCdata packet to the wireless device. Transmitting multiple data packetsfor different services via different active BWPs in parallel (e.g.,simultaneously or overlapped in time) may reduce latency. Transmittingfirst data (e.g., eMBB data) and second data (e.g., URLLC data) via asingle active BWP may cause interruption of one transmission (e.g., theeMBB data transmission) by another transmission (e.g., the URLLC datatransmission). Transmitting multiple data packets for different servicesvia different active BWPs in parallel (e.g., simultaneously oroverlapped in time) may avoid the interruption. Physical and MAC layerprocedures configured for the BWP operation configuration that does notsupport multiple active BWPs in a cell may not be suitable for the BWPoperation configuration that supports multiple active BWPs in a cell(e.g., such an implementation may result in an inefficient BWPmanagement process). Multiple active BWPs may not be efficientlysupported in some systems (e.g., legacy systems and/or NR physical layerand MAC layer operation procedures). Physical layer and MAC layerprocedures may be enhanced, and evolved signaling for an efficient BWPoperation procedure may be configured to support multiple active BWPsoperation in a cell.

A base station may send (e.g., transmit), to a wireless device, one ormore messages comprising configuration parameters of a cell. The one ormore messages may comprise one or more RRC messages (e.g., an RRCconnection reconfiguration message, an RRC connection reestablishmentmessage, and/or an RRC connection setup message). The cell may be aPCell (or a PSCell) or an SCell, for example, if a carrier aggregationor dual connectivity is configured. The cell may comprise a plurality ofdownlink BWPs. Each of the plurality of downlink BWPs may be associatedwith a BWP ID (e.g., a BWP-specific ID) and/or one or more parameters.The cell may comprise a plurality of uplink BWPs. Each of the pluralityof uplink BWPs may be associated with a BWP ID (e.g., a BWP-specific ID)and/or one or more second parameters.

Each of the plurality of the downlink BWPs may be in one of an activestate and an inactive state. A wireless device may perform operationsvia an active BWP (e.g., a DL BWP or an UL BWP). The operations maycomprise transmitting an UL-SCH, transmitting a RACH, monitoring aPDCCH, transmitting a PUCCH, receiving a DL-SCH, and/or initializing (orreinitializing) any suspended configured uplink grants of configuredgrant Type 1 according to a stored configuration. For an inactive BWP(e.g., a DL BWP or an UL BWP), the wireless device may not transmit anUL-SCH, may not transmit a RACH, may not monitor a PDCCH, may nottransmit a PUCCH, may not transmit an SRS, may not receive a DL-SCH, mayclear any configured downlink assignment and configured uplink grant ofconfigured grant Type 2, and/or may suspend any configured uplink grantof configured Type 1.

The one or more parameters (and/or the one or more second parameters)may comprise at least one of: a control resource set identified by acontrol resource set index; a subcarrier spacing; a cyclic prefix; aDM-RS scrambling sequence initialization value; a number of consecutivesymbols; a set of resource blocks in frequency domain; a CCE-to-REGmapping; an REG bundle size; a cyclic shift for the REG bundle; anantenna port quasi-co-location; and/or an indication for a presence orabsence of a TCI field for DCI format 1_0 or 1_1 transmitted on thecontrol resource set. The one or more parameters may comprisecell-specific parameters. The one or more second parameters may compriseBWP-specific parameters. The configuration parameters may furtherindicate at least one of: an initial active DL BWP, of the plurality ofDL BWPs, identified by a first BWP ID and/or a default DL BWP, of theplurality of DL BWPs, identified by a second BWP ID. The second BWP IDmay be same as, or different from, the first BWP ID. The default DL BWPmay be in inactive state, for example, if the second BWP ID is differentfrom the first BWP ID of the initial active DL BWP.

The initial active DL BWP may be associated with one or more controlresource set for one or more common search space (e.g., type0-PDCCHcommon search space). A wireless device may monitor a first PDCCH sentvia the initial active DL BWP of a PCell (or a PSCell) to detect DCI inthe first PDCCH, for example, if the wireless device switches from RRCidle state to RRC connected state.

A base station may activate an additional BWP dynamically (e.g., viaDCI, a MAC CE, etc.), for example, if at least one of multiple types ofservices are triggered for transmission via the additional BWP. The basestation may send (e.g., transmit) a first command to the wireless deviceto activate a second DL BWP, of the plurality of DL BWPs, indicated(e.g., identified) by a third BWP ID. The first command may be a MAC CEor DCI. The third BWP ID may be different from the first BWP ID and/ordifferent from the second BWP ID. The wireless device may transition(e.g., switch) the second DL BWP from inactive state to active stateand/or may maintain the initial active BWP in active state, for example,after or in response to the activating. The wireless device may monitora first PDCCH sent via the initial active DL BWP. The wireless devicemay monitor a second PDCCH sent via the second DL BWP in parallel (e.g.,simultaneously or overlapped in time), for example, after or in responseto the activating. Activating the second DL BWP may not change the stateof the initial active DL BWP.

FIG. 18A shows an example of configuring multiple active BWPs. The basestation may send (e.g., transmit) the first command (e.g., at a time T1)to the wireless device to activate another BWP (e.g., an A-BWP2), forexample, if there is at least one active DL BWP (e.g., an A-BWP1) of aplurality of active BWPs in a cell. The A-BWP2 may be different from theA-BWP1. The wireless device may transition (e.g., switch) the A-BWP2from inactive state to active state and/or maintain the A-BWP1 in activestate (e.g., at a time T2 after the time T1). Activating the A-BWP2 maynot change the state of the A-BWP1.

A base station may send (e.g., transmit), to a wireless device, one ormore RRC messages comprising configuration parameters indicating a firstactive DL BWP and at least one second active DL BWP of a PCell (or aPSCell), for example, if multiple active BWPs are supported by thewireless device. The wireless device may monitor a first PDCCH sent viathe first active DL BWP of a PCell (or a PSCell) and monitor at leastone second PDCCH sent via the at least one second active DL BWP of thePCell (or the PSCell). The wireless device may monitor the first PDCCHand the at least one second PDCCH to detect one or more DCIs (e.g., whenthe wireless device is in RRC connected mode or the wireless devicesswitches from RRC idle state to RRC connected state). Configuringmultiple active BWPs by the one or more RRC messages may reducesignaling overhead for BWP activation.

A base station may send (e.g., transmit), to a wireless device, one ormore RRC messages comprising configuration parameters indicating a firstactive DL BWP of an SCell and at least one second active DL BWP of theSCell, for example, if multiple active BWPs are supported by thewireless device. The wireless device may monitor a first PDCCH sent viathe first active DL BWP and at least one second PDCCH sent via the atleast one second active DL BWP of the SCell. The wireless device maymonitor the first PDCCH and the at least one second PDCCH to detect oneor more DCIs (e.g., after or in response to the SCell being activated bya MAC CE or DCI). Configuring multiple active BWPs by the one or moreRRC messages may reduce signaling overhead for BWP activation.

FIG. 18B shows an example of a BWP switching if multiple active BWPs aresupported. A base station may send (e.g., transmit) a second command toa wireless device to switch from an A-BWP1 to an A-BWP3 (at a time T2),for example, if there are at least two active DL BWPs (e.g., the A-BWP1and an A-BWP2) of a plurality of active BWPs in a cell (at a time T1before the time T2). The A-BWP1 may be the initial active DL BWPconfigured by the one or more messages. The A-BWP2 may be a DL BWPactivated by the first command. The second command may be a MAC CE orDCI. The A-BWP3 may be different from the A-BWP1 and from the A-BWP2.The wireless device may transition (e.g., switch) the A-BWP1 from activestate to inactive state, transition (e.g., switch) the A-BWP3 frominactive state to active state, and/or maintain the A-BWP2 in activestate, for example, after or in response to the switching. The wirelessdevice may monitor a first PDCCH sent via the A-BWP3 and/or monitor asecond PDCCH sent via the A-BWP2 in parallel (e.g., simultaneously oroverlapped in time), for example, after or in response to the switching.Switching to the A-BWP3 from A-BWP1 may comprise deactivating the A-BWP1and activating the A-BWP3.

FIG. 18C shows an example of BWP deactivation if multiple active BWPsare supported. A base station may send (e.g., transmit) a third commandto a wireless device to deactivate an A-BWP2, for example, if there areat least two active DL BWPs (e.g., an A-BWP1 and the A-BWP2) of aplurality of active BWPs in a cell. The third command may be a MAC CE orDCI. The base station and/or the wireless device may deactivate theA-BWP2, for example, after or in response to an expiration of a BWPinactivity timer (e.g., associated with the A-BWP2 or associated withthe cell). The deactivating may comprise transiting (e.g., switching)the A-BWP2 from active state to inactive state and/or maintaining theA-BWP1 in active state (e.g., at a time T2). The wireless device maymonitor a first PDCCH sent via the A-BWP1 and/or stop monitoring asecond PDCCH associated with the A-BWP2, for example, after or inresponse to the deactivating. The deactivating the A-BWP2 may not changethe state of the A-BWP1 (e.g., the active state of the A-BWP1).

A base station and/or a wireless device may communicate via more thantwo active DL BWPs in a cell. The base station and/or the wirelessdevice may perform BWP activation, BWP deactivation, and BWP switching,for example, to flexibly provide different services. A base stationand/or a wireless device may maintain a first active DL BWP for a firsttransmission of a first service. The base station may activate a secondDL BWP to be a second active DL BWP, for example, if a second service istriggered. The wireless device may monitor one or more PDCCHs and/orreceive data packets on both the first active DL BWP and the secondactive DL BWP, for example, after or in response to the activating. Thebase station and/or the wireless device may activate a third DL BWP tobe a third active DL BWP, for example, if a third service is triggered.The wireless device may monitor one or more PDCCHs and/or receive datapackets on the first active DL BWP, the second active DL BWP, and thethird active DL BWP, for example, after or in response to theactivating.

A base station may cross-BWP schedule a second active DL BWP based on afirst active DL BWP, for example, which may reduce blind decodingcomplexity. Cross-BWP scheduling may comprise scheduling, by a basestation, a transmission (e.g., downlink or uplink transmissions) on ashared channel (e.g., downlink or uplink shared channels) of a secondBWP via control channels of a first BWP. The first active DL BWP may beconfigured with a first number of control resource sets and/or a secondnumber of search spaces. The second active DL BWP may be configured witha third number of control resource sets, and/or a fourth number ofsearch spaces. The first number may be greater than the third number.The second number may be greater than the fourth number. The secondactive DL BWP may be configured with no PDCCH resource.

FIG. 19A shows an example of a cross-BWP scheduling. A base station maysend (e.g., transmit), to a wireless device, a first PDCCH 1901A via afirst active DL BWP (e.g., a BWP 1) to schedule a first PDSCH 1911A ofthe BWP 1. The base station may send (e.g., transmit) a second PDCCH1902A via the BWP 1 to schedule a second PDSCH 1912A of a second activeBWP (e.g., a BWP 2), for example, if the BWP 2 is configured to becross-BWP scheduled by the BWP 1. The base station may send (e.g.,transmit) a third PDCCH 1903A via the BWP 1 to schedule a third PDSCH1913A of a third active BWP (e.g., a BWP 3), for example, if the BWP 3is configured to be cross-BWP scheduled by the BWP 1. The base stationmay send (e.g., transmit) a fourth PDCCH 1904A via the BWP 3 to schedulea fourth PDSCH 1914A of the BWP 3, for example, if BWP 3 is configuredto be self-scheduled. A wireless device may monitor one or more PDCCHssent via the BWP 1 for at least one second BWP, for example, if thecross-BWP scheduling is supported and the at least one second BWP isconfigured to be cross-BWP scheduled by the BWP 1. The first PDCCH1901A, the second PDCCH 1902A, and the third PDCCH 1903A may be threedistinct PDCCHs on a same search space. Each of the three distinctPDCCHs may be sent via different locations in the same search space.

FIG. 19B shows an example of a self-BWP scheduling. A PDSCH of an activeBWP may be self-scheduled by a PDCCH of the active BWP. A base stationmay schedule a first PDSCH resource 1911B on a first active BWP (e.g., aBWP 1) by a first PDCCH 1901B on the first active BWP. The base stationmay schedule a second PDSCH resource 1912B on a second active BWP (e.g.,a BWP 2) by a second PDCCH 1902B on the second active BWP. The basestation may schedule a third PDSCH resource 1913B on a third active BWP(e.g., a BWP 3) by a third PDCCH 1903B on the third active BWP.

A wireless device may monitor one or more PDCCHs in one or more commonsearch spaces on the multiple active DL BWPs, for example, with multipleactive DL BWPs in a cell (e.g., as shown in FIG. 18A, FIG. 18B and FIG.18C). Each of the multiple active DL BWPs may be associated with one ofthe one or more common search spaces. Configuring a common search spacefor each of multiple active DL BWPs may not be efficient for a PDCCHresource utilization in the cell. Configuring a common search space foreach of the multiple active DL BWPs may require a wireless device tomonitor multiple common search spaces for the multiple active DL BWPs,which may consume battery power in an inefficient manner PDCCH resourceutilization efficiency and battery power efficiency may be improved byone or more configurations described herein. The one or moreconfigurations may comprise designating a first active DL BWP, ofmultiple active DL BWPs, as a primary active DL BWP (PBWP). The primaryactive DL BWP may be the initial active DL BWP configured in the one ormore messages. The primary active DL BWP may be associated with one ormore common search spaces, and/or one or more wireless device-specificsearch spaces (e.g., UE-specific search spaces). The primary active BWPmay be a BWP via which the wireless device may perform an initialconnection establishment procedure or may initiate a connectionre-establishment procedure. The primary active DL BWP may be associatedwith one or more common search spaces for one or more DCI formats withCRC scrambled by one of SI-RNTI, RA-RNTI, TC-RNTI, P-RNTI, INT-RNTI,SFI-RNTI, TPC-PUSCH-RNTI, TPC-PUCCH-RNTI, TPC-SRS-RNTI, CS-RNTI,SP-CSI-RNTI, and/or C-RNTI. The one or more common search spaces maycomprise at least one of: a type0-PDCCH common search space; atype0A-PDCCH common search space; a type1-PDCCH common search space; atype2-PDCCH common search space; and/or a type3-PDCCH common searchspace. The one or more DCI formats may comprise at least one of: a DCIformat 0_0; a DCI format 0_1; a DCI format 1_0; a DCI format 1_1; a DCIformat 2_0; a DCI format 2_1; a DCI format 2_2; and/or a DCI format 2_3.

The determination of the PBWP may be indicated by an RRC message, afirst MAC CE, and/or first DCI. At least one second active DL BWP of themultiple active DL BWPs may be designated as at least one secondaryactive DL BWP (SBWP). The determination of the at least one SBWP may beindicated by a second MAC CE and/or second DCI. A secondary active DLBWP may be associated with one or more wireless device-specific searchspaces. A wireless device may monitor one or more common search spacesand one or more first wireless device-specific search spaces on a PBWPof the cell and/or one or more second wireless device-specific searchspaces on an SBWP of the cell, for example, if the PBWP and the SBWP aredesignated in the cell.

FIG. 20A shows an example of a PBWP switching. A base station maydesignate, from the multiple active DL BWPs, a first active DL BWP as aPBWP (e.g., a PBWP1), and a second active DL BWP as an SBWP (e.g., anSBWP1), for example, if multiple DL BWPs are in active states in a cell.A wireless device may monitor a first PDCCH on the PBWP1 and a secondPDCCH on the SBWP1 (e.g., at a time T1). A base station may send (e.g.,transmit), to a wireless device, a first command to instruct a switchfrom the PBWP1 to a third BWP as a new primary BWP (e.g., a PBWP2). Thewireless device may transition (e.g., switch) the PBWP1 from activestate to inactive state and transition (e.g., switch) the third BWP(e.g., the PBWP2) from inactive state to active state, for example,after or in response to switching from the PBWP1 to the PBWP2. Theactivated third BWP may be a primary active BWP, for example, after orin response to the switching. The wireless device may monitor a firstPDCCH on common search spaces and first wireless device-specific searchspaces on the PBWP2 and/or may monitor a second PDCCH on second wirelessdevice-specific search spaces on the SBWP1, for example, after or inresponse to the switching from the PBWP1 to the PBWP2.

FIG. 20B shows an example of SBWP activation. A base station may send(e.g., transmit) a second command to a wireless device to activate asecond DL BWP (e.g., an SBWP1) as a secondary BWP, for example, if aprimary active BWP (e.g., a PBWP1) of a plurality of active BWPs aredesignated in a cell. The second DL BWP may be different from the PBWP1and/or the plurality of active BWPs. The wireless device may transition(e.g., switch) the second DL BWP from inactive state to active state andmaintain the PBWP1 in active state, for example, after or in response tothe activating. The second DL BWP may be designated as an SBWP (e.g., anSBWP1), for example, after or in response to the activation. Thewireless device may monitor a first PDCCH on common search spaces andfirst wireless device-specific search spaces on the PBWP1 and maymonitor a second PDCCH on second wireless device-specific search spaceson the SBWP1, for example, after or in response to the activation.

FIG. 20C shows an example of SBWP switching. A base station may assign,to a wireless device and/or from the multiple active DL BWPs, a firstactive DL BWP as a PBWP (e.g., a PBWP1) and a second active DL BWP as anSBWP (e.g., an SBWP1), for example, if a primary active BWP (e.g., thePBWP1) of a plurality of active BWPs is designated in a cell. Thewireless device may monitor a first PDCCH on a PBWP1 and/or a secondPDCCH on an SBWP1. The base station may send (e.g., transmit), to thewireless device, a third command to switch from the SBWP1 to a third BWP(e.g., an SBWP2) as a new secondary BWP. The wireless device maytransition (e.g., switch) the SBWP1 from active state to inactive stateand/or transition (e.g., switch) the third BWP from inactive state toactive state, for example, after or in response to switching from theSBWP1 to the SBWP2. The activated third BWP may be a secondary activeBWP, for example, after or in response to the switching. The wirelessdevice may monitor the first PDCCH on common search spaces and/or firstwireless device-specific search spaces on the PBWP1 and/or a third PDCCHon second wireless device-specific search spaces on the SBWP2, forexample, after or in response to the switching from the SBWP1 to theSBWP2.

FIG. 20D shows an example of SBWP deactivation from a configuration inwhich multiple active DL BWPs are supported. A base station may send(e.g., transmit) a fourth command to a wireless device to deactivate anSBWP1, for example, if a primary active BWP (e.g., a PBWP1) and asecondary active BWP (e.g., the SBWP1) of a plurality of active DL BWPsare designated in a cell. The fourth command may be a MAC CE or DCI. Thebase station and/or the wireless device may deactivate the SBWP1, forexample, after or in response to an expiration of a BWP inactivitytimer. The BWP inactivity timer may be associated with the SBWP1. Thewireless device may transition (e.g., switch) the SBWP1 from activestate to inactive state and/or maintain the PBWP1 in active state, forexample, after or in response to the deactivating. The wireless devicemay monitor a first PDCCH on (e.g., sent via) the PBWP1 and/or stopmonitoring a second PDCCH on (e.g., associated with) the SBWP1, forexample, after or in response to the deactivating. Deactivating theSBWP1 may not change the state of the PBWP1.

A base station and/or a wireless device may not allow a PBWP switchingto a second active BWP by a MAC CE or by DCI, for example, in aconfiguration in which multiple active DL BWPs comprise a PBWP and atleast one SBWP in a cell. The base station and/or the wireless devicemay trigger an SBWP deactivation, an SBWP activation, and/or an SBWPswitching. Configuring the PBWP to be unswitchable may simplifysignaling designs and/or reduce implementation complexity of thewireless device. The PBWP may be switched to the second PBWP, forexample, only by an RRC message but not by a MAC CE or DCI. The RRCmessage triggering a PBWP switching may enable a base station tostatically (or semi-statically) switch the PBWP. FIG. 21A, FIG. 21B andFIG. 21C show examples of configurations in which a PBWP is configuredto be unswitchable (e.g., always active), such as by DCI. Configuring aPBWP to be unswitchable (e.g., at least by DCI) may simplifyimplementation of procedures for a base station and a wireless device,reduce signaling overhead, and/or reduce battery consumption of thewireless device. A wireless device may switch the PBWP to a new PBWP,for example, after or in response to receiving an RRC message indicatingPBWP switching.

FIG. 21A shows an example of SBWP activation. A base station may send(e.g., transmit) a first command to a wireless device to activate asecond DL BWP as a secondary BWP (e.g., an SBWP1), for example, if aprimary active BWP (e.g., a PBWP1) of a plurality of active DL BWPs isdesignated in a cell. The second DL BWP may be different from the PBWP1and/or the plurality of active BWPs. The wireless device may transition(e.g., switch) the second DL BWP from inactive state to active state andmay maintain the PBWP1 in active state, for example, after or inresponse to the activating. The second DL BWP may be designated as anSBWP (e.g., an SBWP1), for example, after or in response to theactivation. The wireless device may monitor a first PDCCH on commonsearch spaces and/or first wireless device-specific search spaces onPBWP1 and/or a second PDCCH on second wireless device-specific searchspaces on the SBWP1, for example, after or in response to theactivation.

FIG. 21B shows an example of SBWP deactivation. A base station may send(e.g., transmit) a second command to a wireless device to deactivate theSBWP1, for example, if a primary active BWP (e.g., a PBWP1) and asecondary active BWP (e.g., the SBWP1) of a plurality of active DL BWPsare designated in a cell. The second command may be a MAC CE or DCI. Thebase station and/or the wireless device may deactivate the SBWP1, forexample, after or in response to an expiration of a BWP inactivitytimer. The BWP inactivity timer may be associated with the SBWP1. Thewireless device may transition (e.g., switch) the SBWP1 from activestate to inactive state and/or may maintain the PBWP1 in active state,for example, after or in response to the deactivating. The wirelessdevice may monitor a first PDCCH on (e.g., sent via) the PBWP1 and/ormay stop monitoring a second PDCCH on (e.g., associated with) the SBWP1,for example, after or in response to the deactivating.

FIG. 21C shows an example of SBWP switching. A base station may assign,to a wireless device and/or from multiple DL active BWPs, a first activeDL BWP as a PBWP (e.g., a PBWP1) and a second active DL BWP as an SBWP(e.g., an SBWP1), for example, if the multiple DL active BWPs areconfigured in a cell. The wireless device may monitor a first PDCCH on(e.g., sent via) the PBWP1 and a second PDCCH on (e.g., sent via) theSBWP1. A base station may send (e.g., transmit), to the wireless device,a third command to switch from the SBWP1 to a third BWP as a secondaryBWP (e.g., the SBWP2). The wireless device may transition (e.g., switch)the SBWP1 from active state to inactive state and/or transition (e.g.,switch) the third BWP from inactive state to active state, for example,after or in response to switching from the SBWP1 to the SBWP2. Theactivated third BWP may be the secondary active BWP (e.g., the SBWP2).The wireless device may monitor the first PDCCH on common search spacesand/or first wireless device-specific search spaces on the PBWP1 and/ora third PDCCH on second wireless device-specific search spaces on theSBWP2, for example, after or in response to the switching from the SBWP1to the SBWP2.

In an A base station may send (e.g., transmit), to a wireless device,one or more messages comprising configuration parameters of a pluralityof DL BWPs in a cell. Multiple DL BWPs of a plurality of DL BWPs may beactivated as active DL BWPs. A wireless device and/or a base station maycommunicate via the active DL BWPs comprising a PBWP and an SBWP. ThePBWP may switch to a first DL BWP as a new PBWP. The SBWP may switch toa second DL BWP as a new SBWP. The SBWP may be deactivated. A third BWPmay be activated as a second SBWP. A base station may send (e.g.,transmit) one or more DCIs indicating a PBWP switching, an SBWPactivation, an SBWP deactivation, an SBWP switching, and/or a PDSCHscheduling on a PBWP or on an SBWP. The indication by the one or moreDCIs may be, for example, based on at least one of: one or more valuesof one or more fields of the one or more DCI; and/or whether the one ormore DCI is transmitted via a PBWP or an SBWP. The one or more DCIs maybe sent (e.g., transmitted) with DCI format 1_0 or 1_1 indicating aPDSCH scheduling. The one or more fields may comprise at least one of: acarrier indicator; an identifier for a DCI format; a BWP indicator; afirst field indicating a frequency domain resource assignment; a secondfield indicating a time domain resource assignment; a PUCCH resourceindicator; a TPC command for a scheduled PUCCH; and/or aPDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator. Reusing an existing DCI format(e.g., DCI format 1_0 or 1_1) for a BWP operation supporting multipleactive BWPs may reduce blind decoding complexity at a wireless device.

A wireless device may switch the PBWP to a first BWP as a new PBWPindicated (e.g., identified) by the BWP indicator, for example, based onat least one of: the one or more DCI being transmitted via the PBWP; theBWP indicator indicating the first BWP different from the PBWP and theSBWP (e.g., if configured); and/or a value of the first field and/or thesecond field being different from a first value (e.g., all zeros) and/ora second value (e.g., all ones). The first value and/or the second valuemay be predefined (e.g., fixed). The wireless device may switch the SBWPto a second BWP as a new SBWP indicated (e.g., identified) by the BWPindicator, for example, based on at least one of: the one or more DCIsbeing transmitted via the SBWP; the BWP indicator indicating the secondBWP different from the PBWP and from the SBWP; and/or a value of thefirst field and/or the second field being different from the first value(e.g., all zeros) and/or the second value (e.g., all ones).

The wireless device may activate a third BWP as a new SBWP indicated(e.g., identified) by the BWP indicator, for example, based on at leastone of: the BWP indicator indicating the third BWP different from thePBWP and from the SBWP; and/or the value of the first field and/or thesecond field being the first value (e.g., all zeros). The wirelessdevice may deactivate the SBWP, for example, based on at least one of:the one or more DCIs being transmitted via the PBWP; the BWP indicatorindicating the SBWP; and/or the value of the first field or the secondfield being the second value (e.g., all ones).

The wireless device may receive a DL assignment via a PBWP (e.g.,without a PBWP switching), for example, based on at least one of: theBWP indicator indicating the PBWP; and/or the value of the first fieldor the second field being different from the first value (e.g., allzeros) and/or the second value (e.g., all ones). The wireless device mayreceive a DL assignment via an SBWP (e.g., without an SBWPswitching/activation/deactivation), for example, based on at least oneof: the BWP indicator indicating the SBWP; and/or the value of the firstfield or the second field being different from the first value (e.g.,all zeros) and/or the second value (e.g., all ones). The wireless devicemay receive one or more DL data packets from a first PDSCH on (e.g.,sent via) the PBWP, for example, after or in response to receiving theDL assignment on the PBWP. The wireless device may receive one or moreDL data packets from a second PDSCH on (e.g., sent via) the SBWP, forexample, after or in response to receiving the DL assignment via theSBWP.

A base station and/or a wireless device may support, for example, a PBWPand at most one SBWP of a plurality of BWPs. Supporting the PBWP and theat most one SBWP, compared with one single active BWP in a cell, mayimprove spectrum efficiency and maintain an acceptable level ofimplementation complexity of the base station and/or the wirelessdevice.

A base station may send (e.g., transmit) one or more DCIs indicating aPBWP switching, an SBWP activation, and/or a PDSCH scheduling on a PBWPor on an SBWP, for example, based on at least one of: one or more valuesof one or more fields of the one or more DCIs; and/or whether the one ormore DCIs are transmitted via a PBWP or an SBWP. The one or more DCIsmay be sent, for example, if a PBWP and at most one SBWP of a pluralityof DL BWPs are supported. Activation of an SBWP may comprisedeactivating a first SBWP and activating a first inactive BWP as an SBWP(e.g., at a time). Activation of an SBWP may comprise activating a firstinactive BWP as an SBWP (e.g., if there is no SBWP before theactivating).

A base station may send (e.g., transmit) one or more DCIs indicating aPBWP switching, for example, if a PBWP and at most one SBWP of aplurality of BWPs are supported. The base station may send the one ormore DCIs indicating the PBWP switching based on at least one of: theBWP indicator indicating a first BWP different from the PBWP and fromthe SBWP; the one or more DCIs being transmitted via the PBWP; and/orone or more value of the first field and/or the second field beingdifferent from a first value (e.g., all zeros) and/or a second value(e.g., all ones). The first value and/or the second value may bepredefined (e.g., fixed).

A base station may send (e.g., transmit) one or more DCIs indicating anSBWP activation, for example, if a PBWP and at most one SBWP of aplurality of BWPs are supported.

A base station may send (e.g., transmit), to a wireless device, a MAC CEto activate or deactivate an SBWP, for example, if an SBWP activation ordeactivation is not urgent (e.g., not time sensitive). The base stationmay send (e.g., transmit) DCI to switch from a first PBWP to a secondBWP as a second PBWP and/or to switch from a first SBWP to a third BWPas a second SBWP. The base station may send the DCI to switch a BWP, forexample, if BWP switching is urgent (e.g., time sensitive, such as forURLLC).

A MAC CE may comprise at least one of: one or more first fieldsindicating activation or deactivation of one or more DL BWPs; and/or oneor more second fields indicating activation or deactivation of one ormore UL BWPs. The one or more first fields may comprise a quantity ofbits (e.g., D4, D3, D2, and D1 for four bits associated with four DLBWPs, respectively). Di may indicate activation/deactivation (e.g.,activation or deactivation) of the DL BWP associated with DL BWP ID=i(e.g., i=1, 2, 3, and 4). Di (i=1, 2, 3, and 4) may correspond to fourmost significant bits of an octet 2 (Oct 2). The Oct 2 may comprise 8bits and each of the 8 bits may be associated with an index (e.g., indexk=0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7). k may be i+3, for example, if Di (i=1, 2,3, and 4) corresponds to four most significant bits of the Oct 2identified by the indexes (k=4, 5, 6, and 7).

Each of the number of bitsmay indicate deactivation of a corresponding DL BWP, for example, basedon the bit being set to a second value (e.g., 0). D4 being set to thefirst value may indicate a DL BWP associated with a BWP ID 4 isactivated if the DL BWP is configured. D4 being set to the second valuemay indicate the DL BWP associated with the BWP ID 4 is deactivated ifthe DL BWP is configured. The wireless device may ignore the value ofD4, for example, if the DL BWP associated with the BWP ID 4 is notconfigured. The wireless device may activate/deactivate a DL BWPassociated with a BWP ID 3 based on a value of D3, for example, if theDL BWP associated with the BWP ID 3 is configured.

An RRC message mayindicate an association between a DL BWP and a BWP ID (e.g., the mappingrelationships between the BWP ID 1 and a first DL BWP, between the BWPID 2 and a second DL BWP, between the BWP ID 3 and a third DL BWP,and/or between the BWP ID 4 and a fourth DL BWP). An RRC message may notuse the indexes i, j and/or k. The RRC message may indicate that thefour DL BWPs and/or the four UL BWPs are associated with one of theeight indexes (e.g., the index k).

The one or more second fields may comprise a quantity of bits (e.g., U4,U3, U2, and U1 for 4 bits associated with four UL BWPs, respectively).Uj may indicate activation/deactivation (e.g., activation ordeactivation) of the UL BWP associated with UL BWP ID=j (e.g., j=1, 2,3, and 4). Uj (j=1, 2, 3, and 4) may correspond to four leastsignificant bits of the Oct 2. k may be j−1, for example, if Uj (j=1, 2,3, and 4) corresponds to four least significant bits of the Oct 2identified by the indexes (k=0, 1, 2, and 3). Each of the number of bitsmay indicate activation of a corresponding UL BWP, for example, based onthe bit being set to a first value (e.g., 1), if the UL BWP isconfigured. Each of the number of bits may indicate deactivation of acorresponding UL BWP, for example, based on the bit being set to asecond value (e.g., 0), if the UL BWP is configured.

Uj (j=1, 2, 3, and 4) may correspond to four odd-numberedbits of the Oct 2 identified by the indexes (k=1, 3, 5, and 7). Di (i=1,2, 3, and 4) may correspond to four even-numbered bits of the Oct 2identified by the indexes (k=0, 2, 4, and 6). k may be 2j−1, and/or kmay be 2i−2.

A base station and/or awireless device may dynamically use the eight bits of the Oct 2. Thefour most significant bits may be used for other purposes or may bereserved, for example, if the wireless device is configured with two DLBWPs (e.g., DL BWPs associated with D1 and D2) and with two UL BWPs(e.g., UL BWPs associated with U1 and U2). Two least significant bits(e.g., associated with D1 and U1) may always have the first value (e.g.,1), for example, a primary DL BWP and a primary UL BWP are designated(e.g., semi-statically). The two least significant bits may always havethe first value (e.g., 1), for example, for the configurations of FIGS.21A, 21B, and 21C (e.g., the primary DL BWP and the primary UL BWP areunswitchable).

A MAC subheader may be used for BWP activation/deactivation. The MACsubheader may comprise at least one of: a reserved field; a flag field;an LCID field with a first value indicating the MAC CE for BWPactivation/deactivation; and/or a length field.

The base station may send (e.g., transmit) one or more DCIs to switchfrom a first PBWP to a second BWP as a second PBWP or switch from afirst SBWP to a third BWP as a second SBWP, for example, if one or moreMAC CEs are used for activating/deactivating one or more SBWPs. The basestation may send the one or more DCIs to switch from the first PBWP tothe second BWP or switch from the first SBWP to the third BWP, forexample, based on at least one of: one or more values of one or morefields of the one or more DCIs; and/or whether the one or more DCIs aretransmitted on a PBWP or an SBWP.

The transition latency may be reduced, forexample, by introducing a first DCI format, which may be different fromone or more other DCI formats (e.g., an existing DCI format such as DCIformat 1_0/1_1, or any other DCI format). The first DCI format maycomprise one or more fields indicating SBWPactivation/deactivation/switching based on one or more values of the oneor more fields of the first DCI format. The first DCI format maycomprise at least one of: a BWP indicator; a second field (e.g., BWPaction/mode indication) indicating one of SBWP activation, SBWPdeactivation, and/or SBWP switching, for example, if a PBWP is in activestate until switched/deactivated by an RRC message.

A DCI format may comprise a BWP ID field and an action indication field(e.g., a second field for indicating a change of a BWP). A wirelessdevice may receive a DL assignment via a PBWP, for example, if thewireless device receives one or more DCIs based on the first DCI format.The wireless device may receive the DL assignment via the PBWP, forexample, based on a BWP indicator indicating the PBWP and/or the secondfield being set to a first value (e.g., “00” if a size of the secondfield corresponds to two bits). A wireless device may receive a DLassignment via an SBWP, for example, if the wireless device receives oneor more DCIs based on the first DCI format. The wireless device mayreceive the DL assignment via the SBWP, for example, based on the BWPindicator indicating the SBWP and/or the second field being set to afirst value (e.g., “00”).

The wireless device may activate a first BWP as an SBWP, for example, ifthe wireless device receives the one or more DCIs based on the first DCIformat. The wireless device may activate the first BWP as an SBWP, forexample, based on at least one of: the BWP indicator indicating thefirst BWP; and/or the second field being set to a second value (e.g.,“01” if a size of the second field corresponds to two bits).

The wireless device may deactivate an SBWP, for example, if the wirelessdevice receives the one or more DCIs based on the first DCI format. Thewireless device may deactivate the SBWP, for example, based on at leastone of: the BWP indicator indicating the SBWP; and the second fieldbeing set to a third value (e.g., “10”).

The wireless device may switch an SBWP to a second BWP, for example, ifthe wireless device receives the one or more DCIs based on the first DCIformat. The wireless device may switch the SBWP to the second BWP, forexample, based on at least one of: the BWP indicator indicating thesecond BWP; the second BWP being different from the PBWP and from theSBWP; and/or the second field being set to a fourth value (e.g., “11”).

A DCI format may comprise a BWP ID field and an action indication field(e.g., a second field for indicating a change of a BWP). A base stationmay send (e.g., transmit) first DCI based on a DCI format (e.g., anexisting DCI format such as DCI format 1_0/1_1, or any other DCI format)indicating SBWP switching, or DL scheduling on the PBWP/SBWP. A basestation may send (e.g., transmit) second DCI based on the second DCIformat (e.g., different from the existing DCI format, such as DCI format1_0/1_1, or any other DCI format) indicating SBWPactivation/deactivation. The second DCI format may comprise at least oneof: a BWP indicator; and/or a second field indicating activation ordeactivation of an SBWP.

A wireless device may switch from the SBWP to a first BWP as a new SBWP,for example, if the wireless device receives the first DCI based on theDCI format (e.g., an existing such as DCI format 1_0/1_1, or any otherDCI format). The wireless device may switch from the SBWP to the firstBWP, for example, based on the BWP indicator indicating the first BWPdifferent from the SBWP and/or the first DCI being transmitted via theSBWP.

A wireless device may activate a second BWP indicated by the BWPindicator as a second SBWP, for example, if the wireless device receivesthe second DCI based on the second DCI format (e.g., different from DCIformat 1_0/1_1 or another DCI format). The wireless device may activatethe second BWP as the second SBWP, for example, based on the secondfield of the second DCI being a first value (e.g., “1” if a size of thesecond field corresponds to one bit). A wireless device may deactivatethe SBWP indicated by the BWP indicator, for example, if the wirelessdevice receives the second DCI based on the second DCI format (e.g.,different from DCI format 1_0/1_1 or another DCI format). The wirelessdevice may deactivate the SBWP indicated by the BWP indicator, forexample, based on the second field of the second DCI being a secondvalue (e.g., “0”).

A base station may send (e.g., transmit) DCI based on a DCI format(e.g., an existing DCI format such as DCI format 1_0/1_1, or any otherDCI format) indicating an SBWP activation, for example, if at most oneSBWP is supported. A wireless device may activate a first BWP as asecond SBWP, for example, based on the BWP indicator indicating thefirst BWP is different from a first SBWP and from the PBWP. Theactivating the first BWP as the second SBWP may comprise deactivatingthe first SBWP and activating the first BWP as the second SBWP (e.g., ata time), for example, if at most one SBWP is supported and the PBWP isin active state at least until switched/deactivated by an RRC message.The activating the first BWP as the second SBWP may comprise activatingthe first BWP as the second SBWP, for example, if there is no SBWPbefore the activating and/or if at most one SBWP is supported and thePBWP is in an active state at least until switched/deactivated by an RRCmessage.

A wireless device may support a plurality of active BWPs in a cell, forexample, if a determination of a PBWP or an SBWP of the plurality ofactive BWPs is not performed. A base station may send (e.g., transmit)one or more DCIs indicating an active BWP switching, a BWP activation, aBWP deactivation, or a PDSCH scheduling on the active BWP, for example,based on at least one of: one or more values of one or more fields ofthe one or more DCIs. The one or more DCIs may be sent (e.g.,transmitted) based on a DCI format (e.g., DCI format 1_0 or 1_1, or anyother DCI format) indicating a PDSCH scheduling. The one or more fieldsmay comprise at least one of: a carrier indicator; an identifier for aDCI format; a BWP indicator; a first field indicating a frequency domainresource assignment; a second field indicating a time domain resourceassignment; a PUCCH resource indicator; a TPC command for scheduledPUCCH; and/or a PDSCH-to-HARQ_feedback timing indicator. Reusing a DCIformat (e.g., an existing DCI format such as DCI format 1_0 or 1_1, orany other DCI format) for a BWP operation supporting multiple activeBWPs may reduce blind decoding complexity at a wireless device.

A wireless device (e.g., with active BWPs in active state) may switchfrom a first active BWP to a second BWP indicated (e.g., identified) bythe BWP indicator, for example, based on at least one of: the one ormore DCIs being transmitted via the first active BWP; the BWP indicatorindicating the second BWP different from the active BWPs; one or morevalues of the first field and/or the second field being different from afirst value (e.g., all zeros); and/or the value of the first field orthe second field being different from a second value (e.g., all ones).

A wireless device (e.g., tith active BWPs in active state) may activatea third BWP indicated (e.g., identified) by the BWP indicator, forexample, based on at least one of: the BWP indicator indicating thethird BWP different from the active BWPs; and/or the value of the firstfield or the second field being the first value (e.g., all zeros). Awireless device (e.g., with active BWPs in active state) may deactivatean active BWP, for example, based on at least one of: the BWP indicatorindicating the active BWP; and/or the value of the first field or thesecond field being the second value (e.g., all ones).

The wireless device may receive one ormore DL data packets from a PDSCH via the active BWP, for example, afteror in response to receiving the DL assignment via the active BWP.

A base station and/or a wireless device may dynamicallyswitch/activate/deactivate a BWP based on one or more fields of one ormore DCIs. Blind decoding complexity and implementation cost of thewireless device may be reduced and/or multiple active BWPs may beflexibly supported.

A wireless device may support a plurality of active BWPs in a cell, forexample, if a determination of a PBWP or an SBWP of the plurality ofactive BWPs is not performed. A base station may send (e.g., transmit),to a wireless device, a MAC CE to activate or deactivate a BWP, forexample, if BWP activation or deactivation is not urgent (e.g., not timesensitive). The base station may send (e.g., transmit) DCI to switchfrom a first active BWP to a second BWP as a second active BWP. FA MACCE and a corresponding MAC subheader may be used for one or more BWPactivation/deactivation.

A wireless device (e.g., with active BWPs in active state) may switchfrom a first active BWP to a second BWP indicated (e.g., identified) bythe BWP indicator, for example, based on at least one of: the BWPindicator indicating the second BWP different from the active BWPs;and/or the DCI being transmitted via the first active BWP. A wirelessdevice may receive a DL assignment via an active BWP (e.g., withoutactive BWP switching), for example, based on the BWP indicatorindicating the active BWP. A wireless device may receive one or more DLdata packets from a PDSCH via the active BWP, for example, after or inresponse to receiving the DL assignment via the active BWP.

A wireless device may support a plurality of active BWPs in a cell, forexample, if a determination of a PBWP or an SBWP of the plurality ofactive BWPs is not performed. One or more MAC CEs for SBWPactivation/deactivation may introduce intolerant transition latency(e.g., caused by scheduling the MAC CE in PDSCH resources and sendingone or more HARQ feedbacks for the MAC CE in PUCCH/PUSCH resources) forsome services (e.g., URLLC). A wireless device may receive one or moreof multiple types of services, at least some of which may require quickSBWP activation/deactivation. The transition latency by introducing afirst DCI format, different from one or more other DCI formats (e.g., anexisting DCI format such as DCI format 1_0/1_1, or any other DCIformat), may be improved. The first DCI format may comprise one or morefields indicating one of BWP switching, BWP activation, and/or BWPdeactivation, for example, based on one or more values of the one ormore fields of the first DCI format. The first DCI format may compriseat least one of: a BWP indicator; and/or a second field (e.g., BWPaction/mode indication) indicating one of BWP switching, BWP activation,and/or BWP deactivation.

A first DCI format may comprise a BWP ID field and an action indicationfield (e.g., a second field for indicating a change of a BWP). Awireless device may switch a first active BWP to a first BWP as a secondactive BWP, for example, if the wireless device receives one or moreDCIs based on the first DCI format and multiple BWPs are in activestate. The wireless device may switch the first active BWP to the firstBWP, for example, based on at least one of: the BWP indicator indicatingthe first BWP; the first BWP being different from the multiple BWPs;and/or the second field being set to a first value (e.g., “00” if a sizeof the second field corresponds to two bits). The wireless device mayreceive a DL assignment via an active BWP (e.g., without BWP switching),for example, based on the BWP indicator indicating the active BWP and/orthe second field being set to a first value (e.g., “00” if a size of thesecond field corresponds to two bits).

A DCI format may comprise a BWP ID field and an action indication field(e.g., a second field for indicating a change of a BWP). A base stationmay send (e.g., transmit) first DCI based on a DCI format (e.g., anexisting DCI format such as DCI format 1_0/1_1, or any other DCI format)indicating BWP switching, and/or DL scheduling on an active BWP.

A base station may send (e.g., transmit) second DCI based on the secondDCI format (e.g., different from the first DCI format and/or differentfrom an existing DCI format) indicating BWP activation/deactivation. Thesecond DCI format may comprise at least one of: a BWP indicator; and/ora second field indicating activation or deactivation of a BWP.

A wireless device may switch from a first active BWP to a first BWP as asecond active BWP, for example, if the wireless device receives thefirst DCI based on a DCI format (e.g., an existing DCI format such asDCI format 1_0/1_1, or any other DCI format) and multiple BWPs are inactive states. The wireless device may switch from the first active BWPto the first BWP, for example, based on the BWP indicator indicating thefirst BWP different from the multiple active BWPs and/or the first DCIbeing transmitted via the first active BWP. The wireless device mayreceive a DL assignment via the first active BWP, for example, if theBWP indicator indicates the first active BWP.

A wireless device may activate a third BWP indicated by the BWPindicator as a second active BWP, for example, if the wireless devicereceives the second DCI based on the second DCI format (e.g., differentfrom DCI format 1_0/1_1 or another DCI format).

A wireless device may be configured to use one or more resources (e.g.,bandwidth parts (BWPs)). At least some wireless devices (e.g., legacywireless devices, wireless devices compliant with 3GPP Release 15, orany other wireless device) may be configured to up to a maximum quantityof resources (e.g., up to four BWPs, or up to any other quantity ofresources). For example, at least some wireless devices may activateonly one of four BWPs at a time. For such wireless devices, at most oneBWP (e.g., uplink BWP, downlink BWP) may be active in a cell (e.g.,primary cell, secondary cell, etc.) at a given time. At least somewireless devices may stop a BWP timer (e.g., BWP inactivity timer) ofthe primary cell (PCell), for example, if the wireless device receives(e.g., from a base station) a random-access response (msg2) for arandom-access procedure on an active downlink BWP of the PCell (e.g., ifthe wireless device initiates a random-access procedure for a secondarycell (SCell)). The wireless device may start monitoring an activedownlink BWP of the PCell for the random-access response, for example,after sending (e.g., transmitting) a random-access preamble (e.g., msg1)for the random-access procedure. A wireless device may activate at leasttwo downlink BWPs on a PCell, for example, if multiple active downlinkBWPs are supported for a cell. Monitoring all of the active downlinkBWPs (e.g., at least two downlink BWPs) by a wireless device may resultin increased power consumption. This increase in power consumption mayoccur when the wireless device initiates a random-access procedure foran SCell, for example, based on sending (e.g., transmitting) arandom-access preamble for the random-access procedure, for example, ifthe wireless device does not know in advance which active downlinkBWP(s), of the at least two downlink BWPs, the wireless device shouldmonitor for a random-access response.

The wirelessdevice may select an active uplink BWP, among the at least two uplinkBWPs, designated as a primary BWP (e.g., initial uplink BWP, etc.). Thewireless device may select an active uplink BWP, among the at least twouplink BWPs, having the earliest random-access occasion to send (e.g.,transmit) the random-access preamble. The wireless device may select anactive uplink BWP, among the at least two uplink BWPs, having an uplinkBWP ID that is the same as a downlink BWP ID of an active downlink BWP.

A base station may send (e.g., transmit) one or more messages comprisingconfiguration parameters of a plurality of cells. At least one cell ofthe plurality of cells may comprise a plurality of BWPs, among which oneBWP may be designated a default BWP. The configuration parameters mayindicate that the at least one cell may be associated with a BWP timer(e.g., BWP inactivity timer) and/or a timer value. A first timer valueassociated with a first cell of the at least one cell may be the same asor different from a second timer value associated with a second cell ofthe at least one cell.

The wireless device may start and/or restart asecond BWP timer using a timer value associated with the second cell(and/or the second BWP), for example, after or in response to receivingthe first DCI on the first active BWP. A base station and/or a wirelessdevice may switch to a default BWP as an active BWP, for example, basedon or in response to an expiry of a BWP timer associated with the atleast one cell.

Some devices (e.g., legacy devices and/or other devices) may allow atmost one active resource (e.g., BWP) in a cell. The cell may beassociated with a resource timer (e.g., BWP timer) associated with atimer value. A wireless device may start the resource timer (e.g., BWPtimer) (e.g., using the timer value), for example, after or in responseto receiving first DCI on a first resource (e.g., BWP, such as an activeBWP). The wireless device may switch to a second resource (e.g., asecond BWP), for example, after or in response to receiving the firstDCI for resource switching (e.g., BWP switching) from the first resource(e.g., first BWP) to the second resource (e.g., second BWP). Thewireless device may start and/or restart the BWP timer (e.g., using thetimer value), for example, after or in response to the resourceswitching (e.g., BWP switching) from the first resource (e.g., firstBWP) to the second resource (e.g., second BWP). At least some devicesmay not support multiple active resources (e.g., multiple active BWPs)in a cell. Such devices may not efficiently manage a state (e.g., anactive state or inactive state) of multiple active BWPs, for example, ifmultiple active BWPs are supported and/or if multiple BWP timers areassociated with the multiple active BWPs. Efficient BWP operationmechanisms may support multiple active BWPs operating within a cell.Efficient BWP timer management may support multiple active BWPsoperating in a cell.

A base station and/or a wireless device may communicate on or usingmultiple active resources (e.g., multiple active BWPs) of a plurality ofresources (e.g., a plurality of BWPs) for sending/receiving multipletypes of services in a cell. Each of the plurality of resources (e.g.,plurality of BWPs) may be in one of an active state or an inactivestate. The plurality of resources (e.g., plurality of BWPs) may comprisea default resource (e.g., a default BWP). The default resource (e.g.,BWP) may be in an inactive state if the default resource (e.g., defaultBWP) is different from one or more of the multiple active resources(e.g., multiple active BWPs).

The wireless device 2208 may stop a BWP timer(e.g., BWP inactivity timer) of the BWP which the wireless device 2208monitors for the random access response. This misalignment may lead to,for example, unnecessary delay, data loss, and/or signaling overhead.Recovery from the misalignment that may be caused by the wireless device2208 missing the random access response may result in a transmissiondelay and/or signaling overhead, which may increase the latency of arandom access procedure and, in turn, may result in a waste of radioresources for redundant transmission of the random access response.

Some wireless devices (e.g., legacy wireless devices, wireless devicescompliant with 3GPP Release 15, and/or any other wireless device) may beconfigured for multiple resources (e.g., multiple BWPs). For example,some wireless devices (such as wireless devices that may be compliantwith 3GPP Release 15) may be configured for up to four bandwidth parts(BWPs). Other wireless devices may be configured for any other quantityof resources (e.g., 8 BWPs, 16 BWPs, etc.). Some wireless device mayactivate one BWP of a plurality of configured BWPs (e.g., 4 BWPs, 8BWPs, 16 BWPs, etc.) at a time. One BWP (e.g., which may comprise anuplink BWP and/or a downlink BWP) may be active in a cell (e.g., aprimary cell, a secondary cell, etc.). A wireless device may switch to asecond downlink BWP with a second downlink BWP index that may be thesame as or similar to an uplink BWP index, for example, based on awireless device initiating a random access procedure for a primary cell(e.g., PCell) and/or based on an uplink BWP index of the active uplinkBWP being different from a first downlink BWP index of the activedownlink BWP. The wireless may perform the random access procedure viathe active uplink BWP and/or via the second downlink BWP. A wirelessdevice may activate at least two downlink BWPs via a PCell, for example,based on multiple active downlink BWPs being supported for a cell. Thewireless device may switch to a second downlink BWP associated with asecond downlink BWP index that may be the same as or similar to theuplink BWP index, for example, based on the wireless device initiating arandom access procedure, and/or the downlink BWP indexes of the at leasttwo downlink BWPs being different from an uplink BWP index of the activeuplink BWP. A misalignment may result between the base station and thewireless device, for example, based on the base station not knowingwhich active downlink BWP(s) has been or is being switched by thewireless device.

A wireless device may use a predefined rule to select a BWP (e.g., adownlink BWP and/or an uplink BWP), for example, which may resolveissues that arise (e.g., mismatched indexes, etc.) from random accessprocedures using multiple BWPs (e.g., multiple downlink BWPs and/ormultiple uplink BWPs). The wireless device may determine (e.g., select)to switch a BWP, among the at least two BWPs, with the lowest and/orhighest BWP index. The wireless device may select a BWP, for example,among the at least two BWPs, designated as a primary and/or secondaryBWP (e.g., default BWP, initial downlink BWP, etc.) to switch. Thewireless device may select a BWP to switch, for example, among the atleast two BWPs, configured with one or more common control channels. Thewireless device may activate a deactivated BWP with a downlink BWP indexthe same as or similar to the uplink BWP index. A wireless device mayuse a predefined rule to select a BWP from a group of BWPs, based on arandom access procedure. The selection of the BWP may be based on, forexample: a lowest BWP index, a highest BWP index, designation as aprimary BWP, designation as a secondary BWP, one or more common controlchannels, and/or a downlink BWP index the same or similar to the uplinkBWP index. This selection and/or switching of the BWP may improve radioefficiency, reduce uplink signaling overhead, and/or efficient BWPswitching management for multiple active BWP operations in a cell.

Switching BWPs based on a matching index for a random access proceduremay enhance existing random access procedures to improve downlink radioefficiency and reduce uplink signaling overhead, for example, based on awireless device supporting multiple active BWPs in a cell. The switchingmay provide a more efficient BWP operation mechanism for supportingmultiple active BWPs operation in a cell. The switching may provide moreefficient BWP switching management for supporting multiple active BWPsoperation in a cell.

At least two wireless devices may operate via a first uplink BWP of acell. The at least two wireless devices may operate via differentdownlink BWPs of the cell. The base station may not be able tosuccessfully and timely identify an identity of a wireless device of theat least two wireless devices sending the random access preamble, forexample, based on a base station receiving a random access preamble of arandom access procedure (e.g., contention-based random access) via thefirst uplink BWP. The base station may not be able to successfully andtimely determine via which downlink BWP to send a random accessresponse, for example, based on not being able to successfully andtimely identify the identity of the wireless device. The base stationmay send a random access response via the different downlink BWPs, whichmay result in waste of resources and/or signaling overhead.

The wireless device of the at least two wireless devices initiating therandom access procedure may switch to a downlink BWP to receive therandom access response. The base station may send the random accessresponse via the switched downlink BWP. The switching of the downlinkBWP may enable the base station to send the random access response ofthe random access procedure via a single downlink BWP. This switching ofthe downlink BWP may reduce a number of random access responses sent bythe base station. The switching of the downlink BWP may be based on alinkage between a first uplink BWP-specific index of the first uplinkBWP and a downlink BWP-specific index of the downlink BWP. The basestation and the wireless device may be aware of the linkage. The linkagemay be configured by higher layers (e.g., RRC).

The wireless device 3026 may receive an RRCmessage from the base station 3014, for example, at time T₀ (3014),configuring the BWPs. The base station 3024 may cause the first downlinkBWP 3004 and the second uplink BWP 3006 to become active between thebase station 3024 and the wireless device 3026, for example, at time T₁(3016). The wireless device 3026 may initiate a random access procedure,for example, at time T₂ (3018), and begin switching from the firstdownlink BWP 3004 to the second downlink BWP 3008, for example, based ona linkage between the second uplink BWP 3006 and the second downlink BWP3008 (e.g., numerology, shared control channel, etc.). The wirelessdevice 3026 may send a preamble transmission to the base station 3024via the second uplink BWP 3006, for example, at time T₃ (3020). The basestation 3024 may send a random access response (RAR) via the seconddownlink BWP 3008, for example, at time T₄.

A wireless device may operate via a first uplink BWP of a cell and afirst downlink BWP of the cell. The wireless device may initiate arandom access procedure (e.g., contention based, contention-free, etc.)via the first uplink BWP. The wireless device may switch from the firstdownlink BWP to an initial downlink BWP and/or switch from the firstuplink BWP to an initial uplink BWP, for example, based on one or morePRACH occasions not being configured, by a base station, for the firstuplink BWP.

A wireless device may operate via a first uplink BWP of a cell and afirst downlink BWP of the cell. The first uplink BWP may be indicated(e.g., identified) by a first uplink BWP-specific index. The firstdownlink BWP may be indicated (e.g., identified) by a first downlinkBWP-specific index. The wireless device may initiate a random accessprocedure (e.g., contention based, contention-free, etc.) via the firstuplink BWP. The wireless device may switch from the first downlink BWPto a third downlink BWP of the cell associated with a third downlinkBWP-specific index, for example, based on one or more PRACH occasionsbeing configured, by a base station, for the first uplink BWP, and/orbased on the first downlink BWP-specific index being different from thefirst uplink BWP-specific index. The third downlink BWP-specific indexmay be same as or different from the first uplink BWP-specific index.The wireless device may perform the random access procedure via thefirst uplink BWP and the third downlink BWP, for example, based on theswitching. The random access procedure may be a contention-based randomaccess procedure. The base station and the wireless device may operatein a paired spectrum (e.g., frequency division duplex (FDD)).

FIG. 31 shows an example method for BWP switching for a random accessprocedure. A wireless device may determine to switch or to refrain fromswitching to a downlink BWP, based starting a random access procedureand based on a BWP-ID match between an active downlink BWP and an activeuplink BWP. The method may be accomplished by systems and apparatusesdescribed herein, for example, the base station 3024 and wireless device3026 of FIG. 30A and/or FIG. 30B. At step 3102, the wireless device mayreceive an RRC configuration regarding the BWPs. At step 3104, thewireless device may activate a first uplink BWP and a first downlinkBWP. At step 3106, the wireless device may initiate a random accessprocedure via the first uplink BWP. At step 3108, the wireless devicemay determine that the PRACH occasions are configured for the firstuplink BWP. At step 3110, the wireless device may determine that theBWP-ID of the first downlink BWP is not equal to the BWP-ID of the firstuplink BWP. At step 3112, the wireless device may switch to a thirddownlink BWP with a same BWP-ID as the first uplink BWP. At step 3114,the wireless device may perform the random access procedure.

Alternate processes may also be possible using the method. At step 3110,the wireless device may determine that the BWP-ID of the first downlinkBWP is equal to the BWP-ID of the first uplink BWP. At step 3114, thewireless device may perform the random access procedure. At step 3108,the wireless device may determine that the PRACH occasions are notconfigured for the first uplink BWP. At step 3116, the wireless devicemay switch to an initial downlink BWP and/or switch to an initial uplinkBWP. At step 3114, the wireless device may perform the random accessprocedure.

A base station may receive a random access preamble, from a wirelessdevice, for a random access procedure via an uplink BWP. The uplink BWPmay be indicated (e.g., identified) with an uplink BWP-specific index.The base station may send a random access response, to the wirelessdevice, via a downlink BWP, for example, based on receiving the randomaccess preamble. The downlink BWP may be indicated (e.g., identified)with a downlink BWP-specific index. The downlink BWP-specific index maybe the same as (or different from) the uplink BWP-specific index.

The wireless device may use multiple active downlink BWPs and/or one ormore active uplink BWPs. The wireless device may initiate a randomaccess procedure via at least one of the one or more active uplink BWPs.The wireless device may not successfully receive the random accessresponse, for example, if the multiple active downlink BWPs lack adownlink BWP via which the base station may send the random accessresponse. This not receiving the random access response may result in afailure of the random access procedure. The failure of the random accessprocedure may lead to radio link failure (RLF).

The wireless device may switch at least one downlink BWP of the multipleactive BWPs to the downlink BWP, for example, based on the initiatingthe random access procedure. The switching may enable the wirelessdevice to successfully receive (e.g., avoid missing receiving) therandom access response. The switching the at least one downlink BWP ofthe multiple active BWPs to the downlink BWP may be performed, by thewireless device, autonomously. The base station may not be aware of theswitching. The base station may send at least one downlink signal viathe switched at least one downlink BWP, for example, based on not beingaware of the switching. This transmission of the at least one downlinksignal may result in a misalignment between the base station and thewireless device, for example, based on lacking a predetermined selectionrule. A predetermined selection rule may be used to select at least onedownlink BWP of the multiple active BWPs.

The base station may send at least one downlink signal via the switchedat least one downlink BWP, for example, based on a misalignment betweenthe base station and the wireless device (e.g., via the switched atleast one downlink BWP). The base station may not be aware of thewireless device switching the at least one downlink BWP. The wirelessdevice may not monitor at least one downlink signal via the at least onedownlink BWP, for example, based on the switching. This misalignment maylead to unnecessary delay, data loss, and/or signaling overhead.Recovery from the misalignment caused by the wireless device may resultin a transmission delay and signaling overhead. This misalignment mayincrease the latency of a downlink transmission and/or an uplinktransmission, which may result in a waste of radio resources.

The wireless device may select a first downlinkBWP based on whether the first downlink BWP is a primary BWP or asecondary BWP. The wireless device may select a downlink BWP, of the atleast two downlink BWPs, that is a secondary BWP. Each of the downlinkBWPs may be associated with a BWP-specific numerology. The wirelessdevice may determine a first downlink BWP baaed on a selected BWPspecific numerology among at least two BWP specific numerologies of theat least two downlink BWPs, wherein the selected BWP specific numerologymay be same as a second BWP specific numerology of the second downlinkBWP. The wireless device may determine a selected downlink BWP, amongthe at least two downlink BWPs, configured with a common search spaceset. The wireless device may select a downlink BWP, among the at leasttwo downlink BWPs, without a common search space set. The wirelessdevice may select a downlink BWP based on whether the downlink BWP is adefault BWP or a non-default BWP. The wireless device may select adownlink BWP, of the at least two downlink BWPs, that is a non-defaultBWP. The wireless device may switch from the first downlink BWP to thesecond downlink BWP. The wireless device may maintain the first downlinkBWP in an active state. The wireless device may deactive the firstdownlink BWP. The wireless device switching from the first downlink BWPto the second downlink BWP may comprise the wireless device deactivatingthe first downlink BWP.

A base station may send, to a wireless device that may receive, one ormore configuration parameters. The one or more configuration parametersmay comprise downlink bandwidth part (BWP)-specific indexes for downlinkBWPs and/or uplink BWP-specific indexes for uplink BWPs. The wirelessdevice may activate a first downlink BWP of the downlink BWPs and afirst uplink BWP of the uplink BWPs. The wireless device may initiate arandom access procedure via the first uplink BWP. The wireless devicemay determine that a downlink BWP-specific index of the first downlinkBWP is different from an uplink BWP-specific index of the first uplinkBWP. The wireless device may activate a second downlink BWP, of thedownlink BWPs, associated with a second downlink BWP-specific index thatis the same as the uplink BWP-specific index. The wireless device mayactivate the second downlink BWP based on determining that a downlinkBWP-specific index of the first downlink BWP is different from an uplinkBWP-specific index of the first uplink BWP. The wireless device maysend, via the first uplink BWP for the random access procedure, apreamble. The wireless device may monitor at least one downlink controlchannel of the second downlink BWP for a random access response. Basedon activating the second downlink BWP, the wireless device maydeactivate the first downlink BWP. Activating the first downlink BWP,the first uplink BWP, and the second BWP may comprise: activating thefirst downlink BWP in a first slot; activating the second downlink BWPin a second slot; and/or activating the first uplink BWP in a thirdslot. Each of the first slot, the second slot, and the third slot may bedifferent slots. The wireless device may select the first downlink BWPfrom the downlink BWPs by determining a downlink BWP associated with atleast one of: a lowest or highest downlink BWP-specific index relativeto downlink BWP-specific indexes associated with the downlink BWPs;and/or a lowest or highest BWP-specific numerology relative toBWP-specific numerologies associated with the downlink BWPs. Thewireless device may select the first downlink BWP, for example, based onwhether a downlink BWP is a primary BWP or a secondary BWP. The wirelessdevice may select the first downlink BWP, for example, based on whetherthe downlink BWP is a default BWP or a non-default BWP. The wirelessdevice may switch from the first downlink BWP to the second downlinkBWP. The wireless device may deactivate the first downlink BWP. Theswitching from the first downlink BWP to the second downlink BWP maycomprise deactivating the first downlink BWP.

A base station may send, to a wireless device that may receive, one ormore configuration parameters. The one or more configuration parametersmay comprise downlink bandwidth part (BWP)-specific indexes for downlinkBWPs, and/or uplink BWP-specific indexes for uplink BWPs. The wirelessdevice may activate a first downlink BWP of the downlink BWPs and afirst uplink BWP of the uplink BWPs. The wireless device may initiate arandom access procedure via the first uplink BWP. The wireless devicemay determine that a downlink BWP-specific index of the first downlinkBWP is different from an uplink BWP-specific index of the first uplinkBWP. Based on the determining that a downlink BWP-specific index of thefirst downlink BWP is different from an uplink BWP-specific index of thefirst uplink BWP, the wireless device may perform at least one of:activating a second downlink BWP, of the downlink BWPs, associated witha second downlink BWP-specific index that is the same as the uplinkBWP-specific index; deactivating the first downlink BWP; or switchingfrom the first downlink BWP to the second downlink BWP. The wirelessdevice may monitor at least one downlink control channel of the seconddownlink BWP for a random access response. Performing at least one ofthe above steps may be based on at least one of: a downlink BWP-specificindex of the first downlink BWP; a BWP-specific numerology of the firstdownlink BWP; a downlink BWP-specific index of the second downlink BWP;and/or a BWP-specific numerology of the second downlink BWP. The basestation may send, to the wireless device that may receive, via the atleast one downlink control channel of the second downlink BWP, a randomaccess response. The wireless device may switch from the first downlinkBWP to the second downlink BWP, for example, based on the receiving therandom access response. The wireless device may initiate a random accessprocedure. The wireless device may initiate the random access procedure,for example, by receiving a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH)order. The wireless device may send a random access preamble via thefirst uplink BWP, for example, based on the PDCCH order. Some wirelessdevices may be configured with up to a maximum quantity of resources(e.g., BWPs). For example, some wireless devices may be configured withup to four BWPs. Other wireless devices may be configured with up to anyother quantity of BWPs (e.g., 8, 16, etc.). Some wireless devices (e.g.,legacy wireless devices, wireless devices compatible with 3GPP Release15, or other wireless devices) may activate only one BWP of up to fourBWPs at a time. For such wireless devices, at most one BWP (e.g., anuplink BWP and/or a downlink BWP) can be active in a cell (e.g., aprimary cell, a secondary cell, etc). Such wireless devices may initiatea random-access procedure associated with a cell (e.g., PCell, SCell),for example, if the active uplink BWP is not configured with randomaccess channel (RACH) resources. Such wireless device switches mayswitch both the active uplink BWP to the initial uplink BWP and theactive downlink BWP to the initial downlink BWP. Such wireless devicesmay perform the random-access procedure via the initial downlink/uplinkBWP.

Some other wireless devices may activate at least two uplink BWPs on acell, for example, if multiple active uplink BWPs are supported for acell. A wireless device and/or a base station may have difficultydetermining to which active uplink BWP(s) of the at least two uplinkBWPs the wireless device and/or the base station should switch from tothe initial uplink BWP, for example, if the wireless device initiatesrandom access and the at least two uplink BWPs are not configured withRACH resources. A wireless device and/or a base station may havedifficulty determining to which active downlink BWP(s) of the at leasttwo downlink BWPs the wireless device should switch to from the initialdownlink BWP, for example, if there are multiple active downlink BWPs(e.g., at least two downlink BWPs on the cell). A misalignment betweenthe base station and the wireless device may result, for example, if thebase station does not know which active downlink BWP(s) is switched bythe wireless device.

The wireless device may address the above issues, for example, bydetermining an uplink BWP and/or a downlink BWP based on a predefinedrule. The wireless device may select an uplink BWP, among the at leasttwo uplink BWPs, based on the selected uplink BWP having the lowest orhighest BWP index among the at least two uplink BWPs. The wirelessdevice may select an uplink BWP, among the at least two uplink BWPs,designated as a primary or secondary BWP (e.g., default BWP, initialuplink BWP, etc.), or based on any other indication (e.g., per apredetermined rule).

Some wireless devices (e.g., legacy wireless devices and/or otherwireless devices) may send (e.g., transmit) a random access preamble viaan active uplink BWP, for example, if the wireless device initiatesrandom access. The wireless device may start a random-access responsewindow. The wireless device may monitor an active downlink BWP for arandom-access response, for example, if the random access responsewindow is running. The random access response window may be runningbased on sending (e.g., transmitting) the random access preamble. Thebase station may retransmit the random access preamble, for example,after the random access response window expires. The base station mayconfigure a duration of the random access response window in terms ofslots in the active uplink BWP. The absolute time duration of a randomaccess response window may be different in each downlink BWP, forexample, based on subcarrier spacing (SCS) configuration (ornumerology). Each downlink BWP may have an independent SCS configuration(or numerology). The random access response window may be four (4) slots(or any other quantity of slots or durations) which may be equal to 2ms, 1 ms, or 0.5 ms, for example, if the SCS of the active downlink BWPis 15 kHz, 30 kHz, or 15 kHz, respectively. The wireless device maymonitor some or all of the active downlink BWPs for a random accessresponse, for example, if the wireless device activates multiple activedownlink BWPs. The wireless device may activate multiple active downlinkBWPs, for example, based on sending (e.g., transmitting) the randomaccess preamble. Each downlink BWP may have a different absolute time. Afirst random access response window of a first active downlink BWP mayexpire before a second random access response window of a second activedownlink BWP expires. The wireless device may retransmit two (or more)random access preambles, for example: a first random access preamble ifthe first random access response window expires, and a second randomaccess preamble if the second random access response window expires. Thewireless device may retransmit the random access preamble based on or inresponse to an expiry of the random access response window.Retransmission of random access preambles may increase interference toother cells and/or users and/or may require the wireless device tomonitor two (or more) random access responses which may increase thepower consumption of the wireless device.

A wireless device may be enhanced to avoid the above issues, forexample, by being configured to resend (e.g., retransmit) a randomaccess preamble only if all (or at least more than one of) the randomaccess response windows of multiple active downlink BWPs expire (e.g.,if multiple active downlink BWPs are monitored for a random-accessresponse). For example, the wireless device may resend (e.g.,retransmit) a random-access preamble only if the random access responsewindow with the longest absolute time duration expires.

FIG. 35 shows an example of an RA procedure. A wireless device 3502 maybe configured to use an active downlink BWP (e.g., DL BWP-1 in FIG. 28)and an active uplink BWP. The wireless device 3502 may stop a BWP timer(e.g., BWP inactivity timer, such as BWP-1 inactivity timer in FIG. 35),if running, associated with the active downlink BWP, based on initiatingan RA procedure (e.g., a contention free RA procedure), at time T₁. Thewireless device 3502 may send (e.g., transmit) an RA preamble (e.g., afirst PRACH transmission) for the RAprocedure via the active uplink BWPat time T₂. The wireless device 3502 may start an RA response window(e.g., an RA response window of DL BWP-1 3506) to monitor an RA responseon the active downlink BWP, for example, after or in response to sending(e.g., transmitting) the RA preamble.

The wireless device 3502 may not successfully receive an RA response,for example, at least until after a RA response window 3506 expires. Thewireless device 3502 may resend (e.g., retransmit) an RA preamble (e.g.,a second PRACH transmission) via the active uplink BWP (e.g., at timeT₃), for example, if the wireless device 3502 does not successfullyreceive an RA response prior to the RA response window 3506 expiring.The wireless device 3502 may complete the RA procedure successfully, forexample, if the wireless device receives the RA response at a time thatan RA response window is running. The RA response may be addressed to aC-RNTI of the wireless device 3502. The wireless device 3502 may restartthe BWP timer (e.g., at time T₄), based on receiving the RA responseaddressed to the C-RNTI of the wireless device 3502.

Some wireless devices (e.g., legacy wireless devices and/or otherwireless devices) may stop a BWP timer (e.g., BWP inactivity timer)associated with an active DL BWP of a secondary cell, for example, ifthe wireless device initiates an RA procedure for the secondary cell.Such wireless device may avoid an expiry of the BWP timer during the RAprocedure, for example, by the stopping the BWP timer. The expiry of theBWP timer may interrupt an RA procedure on the active DL BWP.

A wireless device may receive an RA response of the RA procedure for asecondary cell on a primary cell. The wireless device may stop a secondBWP timer (e.g., BWP inactivity timer) associated with a second activeDL BWP of a primary cell, for example, based on the initiating the RAprocedure for the secondary cell. The wireless device may successfullyreceive (e.g., may not miss the receiving of) the RA response, forexample, by the stopping the second BWP timer. The wireless device maystop the BWP timer (e.g., BWP inactivity timer) associated with anactive DL BWP of the secondary cell and the second BWP timer (e.g., BWPinactivity timer) associated with the second active DL BWP of theprimary cell, for example, based on initiating the RA procedure.

FIG. 36A and FIG. 36B show an example RA procedure for an SCell. Awireless device 3608 may be configured to use a first active downlinkBWP (e.g., active BWP-1) of a first cell 3602 (e.g., a PCell) and asecond active downlink BWP (e.g., active BWP-3 in FIG. 36A) of a second3604 (e.g., an SCell) and an active uplink BWP of the second 3604.

The wireless device 3608 may receive a PDCCH order to initiate a RAprocedure for the second cell 3604 (e.g., at time T₀). The wirelessdevice 3608 may initiate an RA procedure for a beam failure recovery ofthe second cell 3604 (e.g., at time T₁). The wireless device 3608 maystop a first BWP timer (e.g., BWP inactivity timer) (e.g., if running)associated with the first active downlink BWP and may stop a second BWPtimer (e.g., BWP inactivity timer) (e.g., if running) associated withthe second active downlink BWP, for example, based on initiating an RAprocedure (e.g., a contention-free RA procedure), at time T₁. Thewireless device 3608 may send (e.g., transmit) an RA preamble for the RAprocedure via the active uplink BWP, for example, at time T₂. Thewireless device 3608 may start an RA response window to monitor an RAresponse on the first active downlink BWP, for example, after or inresponse to sending (e.g., transmitting) the RA preamble.

The wireless device 3608 may not successfully receive an RA response,for example, by the time that the RA response window expires. Thewireless device 3608 may retransmit an RA preamble via the active uplinkBWP based on not successfully receiving an RA response at least by thetime that the RA response window expires. The wireless device 3608 maycomplete the RA procedure for a second cell (e.g., an SCell)successfully, for example, if the wireless device 3608 receives the RAresponse at a time that the RA response window is running. The RAresponse may be addressed to C-RNTI of the wireless device 3608. Thewireless device 3608 may restart the first BWP timer (e.g., BWPinactivity timer) and the second BWP timer (e.g., BWP inactivity timer)at time T₃, for example, after or in response to receiving the RAresponse addressed to the C-RNTI of the wireless device 3608.

A misalignment may occur between a BWP on which a RA response is sent(e.g., transmitted) and a BWP on which a wireless device monitors forthe RA response, for example, if the wireless device supports multipleactive BWPs in a cell. The wireless device may stop a BWP timer (e.g.,BWP inactivity timer) of the BWP on which the wireless device monitorsfor the RA response. This misalignment may lead to unnecessary delay,data loss, and/or signaling overhead. Recovery from the misalignmentcaused by the wireless device not successfully receiving (e.g., missing)an RA response may result in a transmission delay and/or signalingoverhead, which may increase the latency of the RA procedure and/orwaste radio resources due to redundant transmission(s) of the RAresponse.

A wireless device may be configured with multiple active UL BWPs in acell. A wireless device may select an UL BWP, from among multiple activeUL BWPs, to send (e.g., transmit) an RA preamble, for example, if thewireless device initiates an RA procedure (e.g., a contention-free RAprocedure, a contention-based RA procedure, etc.). A wireless device mayhave multiple active DL BWPs in a cell. A wireless device may select anDL BWP, from among multiple active DL BWPs, to monitor an RA response,for example, if the wireless device initiates an RA procedure (e.g.,contention-free RA procedure, a contention-based RA procedure, etc.).The wireless device may refrain from monitoring the multiple active DLBWPs to receive the RA response. By refraining from monitoring all (orat least some) of multiple active DL BWPs, a wireless device mayincrease efficiency and reduce power consumption.

A wireless device may be configured with multiple active DL BWPs in acell, such as BWP-1 and BWP-2. The wireless device may monitor themultiple active DL BWPs (e.g., BWP-1 and BWP-2) to receive an RAresponse of an RA procedure, for example, if the wireless deviceinitiates an RA procedure (e.g., contention-free RA procedure, acontention-based RA procedure, etc.). The BWP-1 and the BWP-2 may beconfigured, for example, with different numerologies (e.g., subcarrierspacings). A first absolute time duration of an RA response window ofthe BWP-1 may be different from (e.g., shorter or longer than) a secondabsolute time duration of an RA response window of the BWP-2. A firstabsolute time duration of an RA response window of the BWP-1 may be fourtimes longer than a second absolute time duration of an RA responsewindow of the BWP-2, for example, if the BWP-1 is configured with 15 KHzsubcarrier spacing and the BWP-2 is configured with 60 KHz subcarrierspacing. The wireless device may resend (e.g., retransmit) a first RApreamble for the RA procedure, for example, if the first absolute timeduration ends and the second absolute time duration is running. Thewireless device may resend (e.g., retransmit) a second RA preamble forthe RA procedure, for example, if the second absolute time durationends. Sending (e.g., transmitting) multiple preambles (e.g., the firstpreamble and the second RA preamble), for example, may be inefficientand/or may increase interference due to multiple preamble transmissions,possibly each with an increased transmission power.

A wireless device may start a first RA response window and a second RAresponse window to receive an RA response (e.g., a same response), forexample, after or in response to sending (e.g., transmitting) a firstpreamble. Sending (e.g., transmitting) a second preamble, for example,after or in response to the first RA response window (or the second RAresponse window) expiring, may be inefficient and/or consume excessivepower. RA procedures may be improved, for example, to provide greaterdownlink radio efficiency and reduced uplink signaling overhead if awireless device supports multiple active BWPs in a cell.

A wireless device may receive, from a base station, one or more messagescomprising configuration parameters. The one or more messages maycomprise one or more RRC messages (e.g., RRC connection reconfigurationmessage, RRC connection reestablishment message, and/or RRC connectionsetup message). The configuration parameters may comprise, for example,configuration parameters for a cell. The configuration parameters maycomprise, for example, BWP configuration parameters for a plurality ofBWPs. The plurality of BWPs may comprise a first plurality of BWPs ofthe cell comprising a first DL BWP and a second DL BWP. Each of theplurality of BWPs may be identified by a BWP-specific index. Each of theplurality of BWPs may be associated with a BWP-specific inactivitytimer.

A wireless device may receive (e.g., in a first slot) first DCIindicating switching a first active BWP of the cell from a first activeDL BWP to the first DL BWP. The first DCI may comprise a first BWPindicator. The wireless device may determine that the first DCIindicates BWP switching, for example, based on the first BWP indicatorindicating a BWP different from the first active DL BWP. The wirelessdevice may start a first inactivity timer associated with the first DLBWP, for example, after or in response to switching the first active BWPfrom the first active DL BWP to the first DL BWP.

A wireless device may receive (e.g., in a first slot) first DCI and/or afirst MAC CE indicating activating the first DL BWP of the cell. Thefirst DCI and/or the first MAC CE may comprise a first BWP indicator.The wireless device may determine that the first DCI and/or the firstMAC CE indicates BWP activation, for example, based on the first BWPindicator indicating the first DL BWP. The wireless device may start afirst inactivity timer associated with the first DL BWP, for example,after or in response to activating the first DL BWP.

A wireless device may receive (e.g., in a second slot) second DCIindicating switching a second active BWP of the cell from a secondactive DL BWP to the second DL BWP. The second DCI may comprise a secondBWP indicator. The wireless device may determine that the second DCIindicates BWP switching, for example, based on the second BWP indicatorindicating a BWP different from the second active DL BWP. The wirelessdevice may start a second inactivity timer associated with the second DLBWP, for example, after or in response to switching the second activeBWP from the second active DL BWP to the second DL BWP.

A wireless device may receive (e.g., in a second slot) second DCI and/ora second MAC CE indicating activating the second DL BWP of the cell. Thesecond DCI and/or the second MAC CE may comprise a second BWP indicator.The wireless device may determine that the second DCI and/or the secondMAC CE indicates BWP activating, for example, based on the second BWPindicator indicating the second DL BWP. The wireless device may start asecond inactivity timer associated with the second DL BWP, for example,after or in response to the activating the second DL BWP.

The wireless device may activate, for example, at least two BWPs (e.g.,the first DL BWP and the second DL BWP) of the first plurality of BWPs.The activating each BWP of the at least two BWPs of the cell may beperformed, for example, in different time slots. The wireless device maystart a BWP-specific inactivity timer of the each of the at least twoBWPs, for example, after or in response to activation the each of the atleast two BWPs. The first DL BWP and the second DL BWP of the firstplurality of BWPs of the cell may be active at the same time. The firstinactivity timer and the second inactivity timer may be, for example,running at the same time.

FIG. 37 shows an example of multiple active BWP operations. A wirelessdevice may initiate an RA procedure (e.g., a contention free RAprocedure), for example, at time T₁. The RA procedure may be for asecond cell (e.g., SCell). The RA procedure may be for a first cell(e.g., PCell). The RA procedure may be for a beam failure recoveryprocedure (e.g., a beam failure recovery procedure of the first cell orof a second cell). The initiating the RA procedure may be triggered, forexample, after or in response to the wireless device receives a PDCCHorder. The initiating the RA procedure may be triggered, for example, bydetecting, by the wireless device, a beam failure.

A wireless device 3702 may stop BWP-specific inactivity timerscorresponding to at least two BWPs (e.g., a first DL BWP and a second DLBWP) of the cell. The wireless device 3702 may stop a first inactivitytimer of the first DL BWP (e.g., BWP-1) and a second inactivity timer ofthe second DL BWP (e.g., BWP-2) of the cell (e.g., at time T₁). Thewireless device 3702 may stop a third BWP-specific inactivity timerassociated with a third active DL BWP of the second cell, for example,based on the initiating the RA procedure if the RA procedure is for thesecond cell.

The wireless device may send (e.g., transmit) an RA preamble, forexample, based on initiating a RA procedure (e.g., at time T₂). The RApreamble may be associated with (e.g., dedicated to) the wireless device3702. The random access preamble may be wireless device-specific and/ormay be configured for the wireless device 3702 by a base station 3704.

The wireless device 3702 may send (e.g., transmit), to the base station3704, the RA preamble. The wireless device 3702 may send (e.g.,transmit) the RA preamble via uplink resources of the second cell, forexample, if the RA procedure is for the second cell. The wireless device3702 may send (e.g., transmit) the RA preamble via uplink resources ofthe first cell, for example, if the RA procedure is for the first cell.Each of the at least two BWPs may be configured, for example, with atleast one control channel (e.g., common control channel, wirelessdevice-specific control channel, etc). At least one BWP of the at leasttwo BWPs may not be configured with at least one control channel.

The wireless device 3702 may monitor at least one PDCCH occasion for DCIon each of the at least two BWPs. The wireless device 3702 may monitorthe at least one PDCCH occasion, for example, based on sending (e.g.,transmitting) the RA preamble and/or base on stopping the BWP-specificinactivity timers corresponding to the at least two BWPs. The wirelessdevice 3702 may start a first response window 3706 (e.g., anra-ResponseWindow) at a first PDCCH occasion on the first DL BWP of thecell, for example, based on sending (e.g., transmitting) the RApreamble. The wireless device 3702 may start a second response window3708 (e.g. ra-ResponseWindow) at a second PDCCH occasion on the secondDL BWP of the cell, for example, based on sending (e.g., transmitting)the RA preamble. The first response window 3706 and the second responsewindow 3708 may be configured, for example, by a higher layer (e.g., aMAC layer, an RRC layer, etc.).

The wireless device 3702 may monitor the first PDCCH occasion for DCI,for example, if the first response window 3706 is running. The wirelessdevice 3702 may monitor the second PDCCH occasion for the DCI, forexample, if the second response window 3708 is running. The DCI may beindicated (e.g., identified, scrambled, etc.) by an RA-RNTI of thewireless device 3702. The DCI may be indicated (e.g., identified,scrambled, etc.) by a C-RNTI of the wireless device 3702.

The base station 3704 may select a DL BWP to send (e.g., transmit) theDCI. The DCI may be for an RA response. The determining the DL BWP maybe based on an implementation of the base station 3704. The base station3704 may select, for example, the first DL BWP to send (e.g., transmit)the DCI. The base station 3704 may select, for example, the second DLBWP to send (e.g., transmit) the DCI. The base station 3704 may send(e.g., transmit) the DCI, for example, on each of the at least two BWPs(e.g., on the first DL BWP and the second DL BWP).

The RA procedure may be completed successfully, for example, if thewireless device 3702 receives the DCI (e.g., on the first DL BWP or onthe second DL BWP). The wireless device 3702 may reset the firstresponse window 3706 and/or the second response window 3708 (e.g., ifrunning), for example, if the wireless device 3702 receives the DCI onthe first PDCCH occasion. The wireless device 3702 may reset the secondresponse window 3708 and/or the first response window 3706 (e.g., ifrunning), for example, if the wireless device 3702 receives the DCI onthe second PDCCH occasion. The first response window 3706 may be longerthan the second response window 3708. The wireless device 3702 may notreceive the DCI on the second PDCCH occasion, for example, if the secondresponse window 3708 is running (e.g., at least until the secondresponse window 3708 expires). The wireless device 3702 may refrain fromsending (e.g., transmitting) a second RA preamble, for example, based onnot receiving the DCI on the second PDCCH occasion in the secondresponse window (e.g., if the first response window is running) Thewireless device 3702 may send (e.g., transmit) a second RA preamble, forexample, based on not receiving the DCI on the second PDCCH occasion inthe second response window 3708 (e.g., if the first response window 3706is not running and/or the first response window 3706 has expired). Thewireless device 3702 may send (e.g., transmit) the second RA preamble,for example, if a corresponding response window of each of the at leasttwo BWPs expires. At least one BWP of the at least two BWPs may have alongest response window. The wireless device 3702 may send (e.g.,transmit) the second RA preamble, for example, if the longest responsewindow expires (e.g., at time T₃). The wireless device 3702 may refrainfrom sending (e.g., transmitting) the second RA preamble at least untila corresponding response window of each of the at least two BWPsexpires.

The RA procedure may be completed successfully, for example, if thewireless device 3702 receives the DCI (e.g., on the first DL BWP or thesecond DL BWP). The wireless device 3702 may restart BWP-specificinactivity timers corresponding to the at least two BWPs (e.g., first DLBWP and the second DL BWP), for example, based on the RA procedure beingsuccessfully completed.
